  Do you think you need a subwoofer?
Why almost any one needs subwoofers in their audio systems?

I talk with my audio friends about and each one give me different answers, from: I don't need it, to : I love that.

Some of you use subwoofers and many do in the speakers forum and everywhere.

The question is: why we need subwoofers ? or don't?

My experience tell me that this subwoofers subject is a critical point in the music/sound reproduction in home audio systems.

What do you think?

Hey Doug,don't be jealous!You had your shot last winter with your offer to appear(I knew it would not reach fruition,though you're loveable too)at my friend Sid's doorstep,with your ZYX UNIV in tow!It's probably in a vault,when you're not listening.
