Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

RE: Stereo Sub-Woofers

I said excellent results can be had using 1 SW. I was definitely not "knocking" 2 SWs.

When you are as space constrained as I've been, for many, many, years, you learn to make things work well using 1 SW.

A 24 dB./octave Linkwitz-Riley crossover is in phase at the "corner" freq. That is very important, given the abrupt transition from "satellites" to SW. Of course, the crossover is electronic and the rig is multi-amped. I was fortunate, in the past, to have enough "folding green" to work around the space issues. Dash it all, there is no escape from TANSTAAFL.
