Re: To sub or not to sub


My two cents:

I thought when I bought my subwoofer I wouldn’t be using it for two channel listening. I did try it several times but I didn’t like it – that was until I got a receiver with an adjustable crossover. My old receiver had a fixed crossover at 80 Hz which just did not work with my mains, -3db at 40 Hz (ported/vented). My new receiver allows for a 40 Hz crossover point (I still use 80 Hz for movies) and it works very well. The change is soundstage is remarkable – width, height and depth all improve dramatically with the sub on. Now I probably split my two channel listening 80% in stereo mode w/sub, 20% in pure audio mode n/sub. I say sub.

Question Kingkip; what is an IB?
