| Add a subwoofer or not for two channel only? I'm currently using a Servo-15(-3db at 17hz) to augment my B&W CDM-9NT speakers(-3db at 38hz) in a room slightly larger than yours.Surprizingly, the Subwoofer actually has slightly less apparent bass output than the speakers alone, and there i... | |

| Best way to "foot" a subwoofer ?? Kgveteran is essentially suggesting that you construct large bass traps over your concrete floor.(a flexible, insulated wall or floor works much like a bass trap)It's an excellent suggestion, if your room can accommodate it.Here's a link to instru... | |
| Best way to "foot" a subwoofer ?? Generally speaking, spikes under a subwoofer are unnecessary, unless the enclosure is tall and/or unstable.Rubber feet work better, and help reduce mechanical buzzing and resonances. Room reflections and standing waves are usually the cause of fla... | |
| Speakers you regret selling JBL 4311Wish I still had them for my office system; they rocked! | |
| Subwoofers, and standing waves... The sub is actually along the sidewall, halfway between the listener and the mains, forming a "+" configuration.The subwoofer driver is facing the back of the room.ie: the sub is sitting "sideways" against the sidewall, with the driver being equid... |
