Monitor speakers on top of subs

[davide256]

Are you using room correction software? Changing speaker solution sounds like you are attacking the wrong problem.

Adding a sub is out of the question due to lack of space.

Thank you all.

Current spkrs are Ohm 5000s which are not imaging very well in my space + they don't go low enough, so thinking monitors + subs will.

Re: RC, It would need to be digital between Aurender N100H (usb only out) and W4S DAC. Looking at DSSpeaker. Adding RC still doesn't get me the below-20Hz I'm looking for.

mmm, plan on at least 200w per side if you want below 20hz bass. A quality powered sub sounds like your best bet and probably some research into  room conditioning

for your imaging dissatisfaction.

 

Have seen a Virgil Fox DD recording causing clipping to mono McIntosh power amps feeding Klipschorns  a 13hz pedal tone... takes a big investment to get bass below 20hz

right.

can I convince anyone to not put anything on their subs?

 

and to use a swarm of subs?

Another alternative could be to use an Anthem amp with its built in room correction... they can help lesser speakers bass quite a bit assuming the problem is

non linearity,  and not bass distortion
