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!!

As you can see in the curves, they are flat down to 20 Hz in my room. You can run them sealed or ported. 

Primarily for home theater? Definitely a good thing. Especially if there’s tanks.

I have an ASW 2000 from b&w, 12 inch woofer, no DSP, very complicated connection opportunities in the back, that’s 25 years old. It’s a monster and can shake entire house.  

seems to work equally well wherever I put it, which is now 4 feet behind a sofa which doesn’t sound ideal. Achieves its purpose for home theater. I got it before the marketing initiatives basically require subwoofers for all newly designed main speakers that have limited bass driver dimensions - I got it because it also was a good table at the time.

@tcutter , Wow ! That’s an impressive system and the room even more so. I can’t imagine how many hours you’ve put into your system and room, thank you for sharing. BTW I love your faux German sign, I’m Volga German and can appreciate the humor. Respectfully, Mike B. 

I’ve seen posts about low level listening.

It is amazing how much lower of a volume / gain

to get dynamic sound with a sub in the mix.
