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

I now have stereo subwoofers. Previously, I had two 20-year old mono subwoofers located behind my listening position. My new Rythmik servo subs are much better sounding than my 20-year old acoustic suspension subs, but I don't think stereo versus mono has anything to do with that. Personally, I don't think there is anything to be gained in imaging and soundstage by using stereo subs for the bottom octave as opposed to mono. All cues for imaging come from much higher frequencies than the bottom octave. I know this for a fact in my system because the soundstage is no different with stereo subs than with mono. YMMV
