Subwoofers can solve a few problems (and create more), depending on how they are used. My preference is to use subwoofers to add pressurization to the room and ensure even response at the listening position. Even with full-range loudspeakers with deep low-end extension, the best place in the room for imaging is almost never the best placement for bass. Separating concerns enables the best of both.
What does a subwoofer solve?
My previous amps were BHK 300 mono blocks. The bass they provided for my Monitor Audio PL 300ii speakers was exceptional. For several reasons I replaced the BHKs with a Luxman M900u. Very happy with the new amp, except for disappointing bass performance. Would a set of good subwoofers help resolve this, or do subwoofers only address a lack of bass in standard speakers?
Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions.
