Just upgraded my speakers - do I still need the subs

If you listen to much Symphony, or Rock music consider keeping the subs.  Rock music in particular, has a prodiguous amount of bass and beats-per-minute.  Reproducing low/mid bass with the smaller woofer/midrange units may interfere with midrange reproduction.  Subs do tend to open-up the soundstage but may not be necessary for chamber music, jazz, Blues, etc.

I choose a cutoff of about 120 hz (48 db/octave) for Rock (my main speakers have 8" woofer/midrange drivers).  I can move a good bit of air while not unduly burdening my 8" woofer/midrange drivers.

For sure you will need subs if you want to hear everything  on the recordings 

Svs new series even has room correction and great app.

@knock1 ”Listen…….”

’ear ‘ear l say.

Just listen….

The obvious answer. 👍

By far the best solution. ✔️
 

I just see t👀 much talk about all this.

I will try and save you some pain from all the polarized post.  Listen to your system with and without the subs.  Make sure they are tuned for your speakers (Placement and cutoff).  If it sounds better with the subs, then keep them; otherwise remove them.  BTW, I would try another brand, such as REL and JL.  Depending on room size, you may want to run a stereo pair.

The above is exactly what l am saying ….

Read the original post. He is already running a stereo pair.

Suggesting a new expensive angle of buying new subs will just make the OPs final decision even more difficult. It was not what he was originally asking about, which was …”Do l need to keep the subs?”
