RE: Stereo vs mono subwoofer output and the Parasound P5 preamp

So, two subwoofers, playing the same signal in a room can be flatter as they fill in the nulls and cancel the peaks. EQ and bass traps should still be used. That's what I mean by "backing up" or rather I should have said "filling in."

And, this is what I mean by properly integrated. VERY FEW sub users have properly integrated subs. PROPERLY integrated you could not tell 1 or 2 subs in a room, so long as they were not distoring, nor could you tell where they are coming from. However, since most listeners have never heard properly integrated subs, they think I'm talking about Bigfoot or the Chupacabra. They haven't heard it so don't believe it's real. These are also the same who think a sub can't sound as good as a planar or ESL.

My suggestion is, as always, start with 1 sub. Spend the time to integate it well, and see if you still want a second. You may find yourself so tired out after one the second seems like too big of a hassle. :)



Best,


Erik
