What is wrong with a sub?

Never had much success integrating a sub in a 2 channel system.
Always found it reduced upper frequencies transparency even when set up right.

Guess the benefit of being old and new (to audiofile stuff ) is I have not had that issue, which was the reason behind the OP.

Integration not always easy

Stand mounts with subs are regularly suggested to me as I obsess over my next pair. But apartment living seems like subs would be a no-no. I had been looking at stand mounts that hit around 40hz so I wouldn’t need a sub, but I’m discovering that even with my current (rolls off at 50hz) parts of the room load up and I feel like that’s where I’ll have issues.

im coming around to integrating a sub, but afraid my situation won’t be a workable one. I may just buy a refurbed or scratch and dent sub and try it and see how it goes.
