To sub or not to sub, that is NOT the question. To sub properly, that is the question.
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.
