Thanks for your replies. Each is consistent with my thoughts. I have played with the sub on/off and do not think I am getting any deeper bass than my speakers provide. In fact, my speakers are giving 'more' bass than the sub. Each Woodmere speaker has (2) 10-inch Seas woofers in a generous cabinet, which provides good, deep, solid bass. But the size of my room (30x31x12) has me wondering if an improved subwoofer would give me anything meaningful below what my speakers can offer. I am not a bass nut, and I don't need 'more' bass. Just wondering if an improvement can be made in the impact of orchestral music. Sounds like a definite 'maybe'. I'm betting that my room is the key factor in determining the answer, and that I won't really know until I try it. Thanks again.
Audio Pro B2-50 Subwoofer Anyone?
I realize that Audio Pro has not distributed in USA for over a decade, so this thread may be aimed at the Europeans. My Audio Pro B2-50 has served me well since I purchased it in about 1987. It has supplemented my previous speakers which lacked the bass I needed in the 70 Hz and down registers (Dahlquist DQ-10, Quad ESL 63, Tyler Woodmere 2- to a lesser extent). My new Tyler full-sized Woodmere speakers solidly go down to the upper 20 Hz region, so the sub is currently dialed in to crossover at 30 Hz, the lowest setting on the dial. Question: for 30 Hz and down, what difference would I notice between my aging Audio Pro sub and one of the newer models, such as JL Fathom F113? At this frequency, my music application is strictly classical/ heavy orchestral. Thanks to anyone who gives me some idea.
