Hello Tube Amplification--Goodbye Subwoofer


I swapped out a very nice British integrated amplifier for a Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP.  After one day, I retired the less-than-year-old subwoofer.  There's no need. 

I also had to experiment with port plugs. 

The grip over the woofers and power of bass is something I have experienced in shops but never like this at home.  Now, as I would drive my old SS integrated up the decibel ladder it had great bass.  I think, though, at lower level listening the tube amp provides warmth and authority. 

Goodbye musical subwoofer.  I loved and cared for you, but the new girl does all I need.

jbhiller,

Another vote for keeping your sub. Every time I make a positive change in my system, I always have to re-examine my sub settings. Never fails to amaze! Good luck!
I'm using a pair Martin/Logan Depth i's in an acoustically treated room. I'm constantly amazed out how accurate the ML manual is.
