Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know?
Don c55  have you exhaustively set up , tweeked then disliked 4 subwoofers ? It makes your sound stage that much bigger. The beauty part is that you dont make your bass any louder. each device runs a bit lower . And if set up properly , puts the b...

I’ve always been able to hear where they are . And thats not good . Its the room and the placement  and its the equalization. I am happiest I’ve ever been after duke and tim shed some light on dukes swarm . Its incredible. What it did to my mains ... 
JBL 250ti's or something new....
I am a big fan of jbl . I have several different pairs of them and would not say no to 250s if they were within a couple hours drive. Jbls are always rebuildable and if not a short wait on ebay and the part you desire shows up. Be easy to sell aga...

Cerber79No, it wouldnt work like that. I dont know the sub but perhaps two of them are passive ?  Being bass is omnidirectional would still have the same effect as one sub .

I agree

Dont sacrifice any imaging . Your bass response is what it is. If its not good enough to your liking , go to the store. Dial your imaging the best it can be.

They dont have to be the same. So long as you have some sort of control over them.  
Trying to find an amp that matches my tastes (aka death metal)
Get a set of powered dj speakers and go nuts.  Heavy is a pretty scooped sound . 2 ways will work fine. If you did go separates youll want minumum 75 watts tube or 150 watts chan solid state. . Why i say dj stuff is some people arent able to hear ...

The sound is much less localized in my large room. Using just my mains when I’m alone is fine . You can sense the depth of bass all the way down its roll off (below 30hz ) but large room = more people . More people needs more bass . The subtly of ...

Bah ! Subwoofers ! You kids and your rock and roll music . My mains have all the bass response I’m sure some would like to have . But i also want six subs . And since i do what i want ..seriously though i think people do not use them properly to g... 
Need advice
Be best to go for some vintage speakers . If you can call 30 yr old speakers vintage . For example a set of jbl l100t3 or jbl L7 can be found under a 1000 and will beat the hell out of anything you can buy for a 1000 these days.not even the same p...

toe in helps keep reflections off the side walls . Improves clairity and stage. Dont toe in so far that they aim in front of you . Most you want is at you .my mains i set up with a building lazer. Centered , same angle and 40” from tweeter to rear...

Turn the crossover all the way down . To 50 or 63 depending what you have. Then try as i suggested which i learned from duke and tim. Put the sub in your chair. Now listen all over your room . You may have to crawl on the floor to find the hot spo...

Theres no magic to placing your mains . Rule of thumb is placing at eye height and the distance between them is how far either is from your head . 60 degree triangle . I’m not quite sure what you are asking but the soundstage is the biggest part .... 
Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know?
No, its the physical position of the sub that dictates where the standing waves end up . Put the sub on your listening chair , now go around the room and find where the bass is loudest. Now put your sub there. The end. Leave your mains off during ...
