In Reply to: What is your experience using stereo subs for 2 channel? posted by Atver on October 17, 2005 at 16:31:40:
using the amp outputs to feed speaker level to both sub and speakers. Unfortunately, duel RELs will cost money and I'm not how much they can contribute on the bottom end to VA Mahlers.
Follow Ups:
I use 2 Rel Storm IIIs with Thiel 7.2s and they do add something. Granted it is on mat'l that has real bottom end but it is noticed when the subs are off.
Thiel 7.2s, those look like (almost) full range speakers which should work on their own nicely for most music. I have eyed a REL Studio III on closeout for quite a bit of time but since there's only one....I'd have to ensure the crossover is set low enough so I wouldn't notice it's location when it was working.
My subs are set at the lowest setting, 22HZ. When I first re-hooked them (7.2s) up after I got my Bryston 14BSST amp I had a friend over and I put on one of my reference cuts I use for bass - Al Dimeola's "Kiss My Axe" - the 2nd cut. About 2/3 of the way thru the cut there is major bass drum kick. My friend upon hearing the 14BSST with the 7.2s thought I did not need the subs until I replayed it with the subs on. Yes, they do nicely on their own but with certain things you definitely notice the difference.
