Subs and room nodes

Subs in a system is unfortunately not a fashion statement. Going sans sub might look chic but might sound anemic. It’s about frequency response at the listening position and your room will have a lot to say about that. Your dealer will most likely take some measurements and will give you his verdict. But you probably already know the answer. Two subs might be all you need. Good luck in your journey. It’s going to be fun. 

Thank you everyone for the responses. I’ve learned so much here in the time I’ve been on agon. It’s a really great forum. 
 

Happy listening!

Those are some serious speakers.  When your dealer gets there, you may find that all is needed is some small physical adjustments of the speakers within the room and possibly a small adjustment to your listening position to better take advantage of the existing room modes where the speakers are being reinforced by the room, rather than the room detracting from their bass performance. 

When I was at a class at Sumiko years ago, one of the gentlemen there made a comment that has stuck with my since.  "The room is the drum and the speakers are the mallet." 

Let us know how it goes.

Thank you. I have been enjoying the Aviors tremendously. The Boulder 866 paired with them seems to be an amazing combination. One thing I didn’t realize was how much the sound would change as the speakers have broken in. I actually thought the room was a dud but it was the speakers not being broken in. I think you are right that just some small adjustments will be needed.
