Finally Learned: Subs serve much larger role than adding more low bass

I sold my older powered sub a while back. reasons-

1. It did not integrate well.

2. I was pretty satisfied with my 2 speakers bass output.

3. Was big, heavy and ugly.

After traveling around the counrty and listening to home systems put together by people who know their way around the industry I realized they all have something I did not. A well integrated bass array.

So what does a bass array add to a 2.0 system?

This is where words fail but I will try:

-Increased Involvement in the listening experience

-More enjoayble sound stage

So if you are like I was, a sub denier, I suggest you try one small

sub, as I did, and see what you experience. My $500 REL T5x experience

did it for me. Now I will buy a second one.

Musaddict- I will do that Cassidy experiment on my system-thank you.

Magilic- Just buy 2 REL 5Tx subs. On sale was $1000 all in for 2.

Call it your mini swarm!

Natural- Those Fritx speakers are but kickers! Heard them last week

I bought the baby T5X while REL ran a promotion last month.

After hearing it asked the dealer for a second one but

he was sold out. Good news is when he gets another one

they honor the sale price!

Now that I have become an "Enlightened One" insofar as having recognizedd

the highest and best reason to use subs, it is starting to bother me when I hear a reviewer counsel someone that a given speaker "May need a subwoofer". 

They all need subs so please just say "The bass sucks on these speakers"

I wanted the model that the driver faced down as it may live

in harms way. Practical solution I thought.
