Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: In a small room...

You might want to use bipole subwoofers if you plan on stacking small bookshelf speakers on top of the subwoofers. Because of the opposing drivers, bipole subs cancel out their own cabinet vibrations. Which means, less mechanical interference with the bookshelf speakers on top.

Unless you stack the bookshelf speakers on top of the subwoofers (or at least keep them very close to their subwoofers), crossing over at 150 hz might make bass info above 80 hz or so seem like a separate source of sound, audibly disconnected from the soundfield created by the main speakers.
