2 Subs


Anyone using 2 subs in a 2 channel system? I bought 2 M&K KX-10SF 8" subs that will be placed 3 feet apart underneath a pair of Lipinski 707 monitors that are 5 feet apart and 43" high. They will be hooked up via rca's. I got them NIB for 190.00 each so I thought why not get 2? Would putting the subs on stands help any? The room is 12x14 w/ 8' ceiling. Your thoughts or advise. Thanks to all.

I use 2 Velodyne HGS-15s controlled by an SMS-1. They're mounted essentially in the corners, but pulled out a bit. The system is used for both music and HT. A listener is unaware of the subs, except for the realization that the mains could not be producing certain sounds, the felt more than heard vibration when a low pedal note is opened on a pipe organ, for example. HT LFE does its own thing, so an explosion can make you feel the pressure wave.

I think one sub is essential, and two are better.
