First post, and looking for a discussion that probably has been addressed a number of times. May I ask again, with some technical specifics?
My question: whether a subwoofer is “necessary” given the specifics of my use and setup? If not “necessary” might a subwoofer make a significant difference?
My system use is approximately 50/50, music and movies/TV. Fairly large and open great room (GR itself about 27’ x 17’, with a 15’ vaulted ceiling), an adjoining dining area, and a pass-through from the GR to the kitchen). Plenty of soft surfaces.
Equipment presently consists of:
Pioneer Elite SC-35 receiver
Klipsch KV-4 center
KLF-20 L/R (34Hz-20kHz+-3dB, each w/ 2 10” woofers).
Synergy F3 surrounds
KSW10 sub (set @ 50Hz)
Sony BD
What I have is a brief opportunity to acquire a good pair of KLF-30 speakers (36Hz-20kHz+-3dB, each w/ 2 12” woofers). I would make them my mains and move the 20s to the surround position.
In no way do I have “professional” knowledge, ear, or budget. I actually love the sound that this mixture makes. But I do know that the 30s should be quite an addition. . . .
I ask the original question because I am likely to sell the subwoofer, depending on the cumulative responses.
Really would appreciate your collective insights, and thanks to all!
