I have a question for this thread. I just moved into a new house and a smaller listening space. It's a worse-sounding room than my last, so I am currently adding lots of treatment. In small rooms, does everyone still recommend subs with full-range speakers?
Subwoofers - crazy upgrade!
I’ve read it for decades , every where. Never tried a sub
Till now. What a shame! This is amazing. Just 1 hour
in my system and not fully broken in or calibrated. opens
Up the mains, deepens stage, adds bass detail. More
Soulful/open- dynamic- easy. Svs 3000 micro R. I do NOT
get the physical body compression, but musically wonderful!
I can overblow it a little to feel it though . I have it on the stock feet.
i think elevation would allow more volume and gain to get
a physical impact while keeping it clean. What an enjoyable
subwoofer!!

Gentlemen, if I may ask a somewhat lame question please. Stacking subs Vs subs that have multiple front facing drivers ( 2 or 4 ) in the same enclosure with a single amp, are they comparable? I’d like to run multiple subs, but I can’t afford to pony up for 4. Also any comments on the Audiokinesis Swarm is appreciated. I’m currently cash strapped and hoping to do something with a $3K budget. Thank you, Mike B. |
On a $3k budget I think you can find plenty of options. My local dealer has JL Audio, Kef, B&W and SVS to name a few. to keep the size in line with my room. I seem to recall reading that two smaller subs can out perform one big one?

@m-db thanks for the suggestion. Why did I think of that? One of my sets of speakers (Aerial 8b) are on casters for now as I play with placement. My speakers are ≈16 Hz (–3 dB). I dont have tolerance info on my subs. I used them with the Aerials and for LFE on movies. |
