Even Fathoms or Gothams that have plenty of power for a certain room will greatly benefit from a second, with better bass loading, but, also, and more important to me, is much better imaging without shift. It's just wrong what is said about not being able to locate LF sound sources. Even with a steep cutoff at 35 hertz I can easily locate a single sub playing in my room. My 6 year old said "what is that box making noise" when he heard the system with a sub. I asked "what noise" and he said "brrrmm brrrmm". Two of them close to the speakers is the ticket.
2 subwoofers?
I have #2 B+W 802 speakers powered by a Classe 5 channel amp. 250 Watts per channel. Each speaker is getting 500 watts. One channel powers the woofers and another channel powers the mid and tweeter.Plenty of power. I have one Velodyne 1500 SPL sub under the left speaker. I am considering getting another one for the right speaker.People are telling me that one sub is enough and that getting another one would only be a waste of my money.The Velodyne 1500 is a powerful sub but I can't help but think getting another to match the left side would improve the sound. Any input will be appreciated.
