Dan,
I saw that earlier. To each their own. I added a pair of REL 212/SE's to my Tannoy Canterbury GR's and now have the best sound I've heard in my home or anywhere else for that matter. It's so darn good I struggle to do anything productive. If using subs with music means you're out of the club, count me out. I'm an extremely happy music listener and have zero plans of disconnecting them anytime soon. More likely, never.

Sorry, Mr. Guttenberg. Have a good day and enjoy your music.

Agreed. Single best addition to my system, by a long shot.

I love my subs, just do let them over power and aka be to out of balance. I know it is music taste etc, but there is a science and a realistic approach to how it should sound in a given system and environment right :)

I tend to agree that Movies with todays effects and sound tracks seem to over some of the best you can get from a sub, but heck even very good full blown classical not just rock or pop can gain from a sub to reproduce what all there is to hear IMOP of course...

I turn my subs on sometimes, depends on my mood, and if my wife is asleep upstairs.[emoji849]

Same here. Subwoofers rock. No doubt they must be dialed in correctly to the system, but when that is done right a good subwoofer(s) add a dimension to the lowest octave that very few full range speakers are able to reproduce. Love my sub.

They enrich the music as long as they're not set so high that they call attention to themselves.
