Nearfield v multisub

Nearfield with a single sub works very well if you're not going to move, or BARELY move, during listening. I frequently listen at a variety of locations, so my experiments with nearfield left me with too much variance, so instead I have a sub located behind each of my mains, firing at the back of the cabinet, which is used as a lowpass filter.

Multiple locations in non-nearfield is almost invariably better than a single sub, with lower distortion and thus lower localization and smoother room response.



Bass is supposed to sound big. 6.5" is not a woofer size.
