ooteedee Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 How many of you out there use Subwoofers with your old Klipsch speakers? (Khorn, LaScala, Belle, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 I used a sub when using LaScala for mains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 I use a smaller KSW12 with my Cornwalls. No output with straight 2 ch on my Yamaha 2400, but it really kicks in in HT modes (LOTR, Nemo) and helps a bit when using 7ch stereo (all speakers on, but no DSP). If you use your setup for 25% or more HT, a sub is pretty much a must. There is too much info contained on modern movies to ignore this part of your setup. Remember Heritage speakers were designed to reproduce MUSIC, and are pre-pre-pre even sensurround (earthquake) days. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjgeraci Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 Use a quality sub. I have my SVS available and use it with both my Belles and my RF-7s in two-channel and when running my Belles and my Vertical Cornwall in the front-three array. Additionally, it is always there for HT duty. It is true that most music does not go below 60 HZ so even LaScalas and Belles reproduce most of bass found in songs even without subs. But - adding a nice sub - even with older Klipsch speakers means that you can supplement the lower end - and with certain types of music (i.e. pipe organ), it is really necessary. Flexibility is the key. If you want pure two-channel, you can always turn the sub off. However, it is really nice to have it in reserve. Carl.

jpm Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Due to proximity to the neighbors, I must listen to my music at low volumes at night. The sub really fills in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdmarsiii Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Yup, I use a sub with my Heresy's. Heresys drop off after about 80 hz anyways, so my sub keeps everything pretty solid until a little below 20 hz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
