Just upgraded my speakers - do I still need the subs


I just purchased a used pair of KEF reference one Meta speakers to upgrade from my LS 50 Metas which I have paired with 2 KC 62 subwoofers. I am looking for some opinions on whether I need to keep the subs or whether I can go ahead and sell them along with my LS 50s.

If you are staying in the same room and are happy with the KC62 subs, no need to waste money on bigger or "faster" subs. The KC62 and 92 have essentially the same frequency range. The 92's would help pressurize a larger room.

Yes you will want to keep the subs imo. Unless you have dsp and crossover you would want to set the low pass on the subs as low as possible. 
 

If you have a good crossover time alignment that’s a different story. Cross them over at 60-70hz or so and play with it from there. 

Yes, keep the subs or get better ones. Subtraction is not going to equal better sound. I ran 4 much larger subs when I had my Ref 1s. Just make sure they are set up well.
