Floorstanders don't guarantee that you'll have full-range bass. There is a fair amount of overlap in function between the wider range stand-mount speakers and the smaller floorstanders. Most floorstanders benefit from a sub or two. What's different is that you'd set the sub crossover at somewhere between 40 and 60 hz and run the floorstanders full range. This way you augment the low bass where the main spkrs' response rolls off.
Floorstanders vs Monitors and bass response
I currently have monitor speakers with relatively close proximity to the rear wall (2ft), I run these speakers with a sub and an active crossover which sends everything 80hz and lower to the sub.
I am considering upgrading to floorstanders, and want to continue using my sub with the crossover. Will the bass response be the same? Or will there be more bass (overpowering?) with the new setup?
