Would Martin Logan Spires benefit from subwoofer?


Hi all,

I have Martin Logan Spires run through a Jeff Rowland Concerto integrated. I've been wondering how much would a subwoofer (probably a ML, too) contribute to the overall sound of my system? Room is about 15 X 25, quite sound friendly!

Thanks in advance,

Russ

While the Spires really improved on the Panel/Woofer integration, adding a sub will help. IMO I like Servo Based Subs with stats. But the biggest thing that will help out with the Sub and integration is the DSpeaker Anti-Mode 8033 Sub EQ system. I messed around with a Velodyne SMS-1 (same thing that is in the Velodyne DD series) and measures, tweaked, auto measures, manual measured, tweak, changed settings...FOREVER and really could not get my sub to sound as good as I thought it could (I have my room EXTENSIVELY treated for acoustics). I finally bought the DSpeaker and within 15 minutes of unpacking hooking up and running the calibration, I had the BEST SUB response EVER in my room. Selling the SMS-1 was a no-brainer.
