One more question: After buying my sub, I know I'll probably be making adjustments to get my system sounding the way I like it but in advance of that, I have one thought. After having needed to boost the bass on my receiver to compensate for my small mains, would I now set the bass control flat to clean things up while letting the sub do its thing? Thanks, A.

Thanks everyone. Let's go shopping!!! A.

Posted this over in Tech: "Bigger is better, but are there any directivity issues when putting a large sub with a small main/satellite? My understanding is that per given frequency, a large driver will beam more than a smaller one. If a large sub has to cross over high to a small main, will it draw attention to itself? Shouldn't a small speaker have a small sub? Is there a recommended sub size per lower frequency extension of a satellite?" Got some info, and now I would like to ask: With mains spec'd at: 70-20,000hz,+/-2db, 55hz low frequency extension (although I don't know how far down they are at that point), sensitivity of 89db, and a 5-1/2" mid/woofer, what is your sub size/model recommendation and ideal cut-off/cross-over settings for your choice? Thanks

Actually, I guess at this point I should move over to the sub forum for final suggestions, thanks everyone for your input.

One more question: Main/Satellite speaker in question spec'd at: +/-2db, 70-20,000hz with a 55hz lower extension (although I don't know how far down it is at that point) and a sensitivity of 89db. Recommendations??? Thanks.

Hi all, Bigger is better, but are there any directivity issues when putting a large sub with a small main/satellite?
