Now... onto subs...

[70sMac]

To the folks in The Lounge.....

Yes, I've started a few threads here, but we wish to get back to other projects, so we've recently made several purchases for the proposed A/V room -- and most of them were influenced by posts we received right here, on the AAF, so many thanks to any and all who've helped us along.

Okay, now that we have our physical media players, our new B&W center, a good A/V pre-pro and, just today, our new multichannel (MC) power amp, there's only one hole that needs to be filled: a decent subwoofer.

Bearing in mind that we now have seven channels of Mac amplification, it doesn't seem imperative to purchase an active subwoofer (sub). Although we only recently installed the soundbar and active subwoofer that we purchased with our LG OLED TV -- and have clearly heard the difference they both make -- we're still only looking to set up a 5.1 system, so we have two extra channels of amplification to work with. Are we correct in assuming that one of said extra channels can be designated for use with a passive sub?

In general, thoughts on passive and active subs will, as ever, be greatly appreciated and read with much interest.
