Ok quick Home Theater Question. I've been looking at a set of speakers that have Subwoffers built into them in addition to the "normal" speakers that are normally found in your front Pair of Speakers. So my question is...is there any advanges of having subs built into your Main speakers (besides havine 2 subs vs 1 sub) vs having a stand alone Sub unit?

Takes up less space. Easier to position. A nice standa alone sub, properly placed, will almost always sound better, though.

Sure ... and how many of you have a room large enough to discern two points of subwoofer output?Originally posted by Greebe

And isn't it so that very low frequencies aren't locate-able anyhow?
BTW, what's the definition of a subwoofer? Isn't it just a low frequency speaker in a bass reflex cabinet?

The best advantage in this arrangement is that the speaker is tuned as a whole system. The crossovers are meant to work with that particular speaker, so there is usually no peak in the midbass as is often the case with a system involving seperate woofers. The subwoofers are almost always more "musical," yet oftentimes have less punch than a seperate one would.
Which speakers are these?Comment

What's the difference between a normal speaker and a speak with builtin subwoofer? A normal speaker (not a bookshelf thingie) already has capable oofers that go pretty low, when does a speaker become a speaker with subwoofer?
(I don't have any experience with subwoofers because my speakers have a 20-60000Hz range, don't need one)Comment

ditto, I want a pair... unless they've got a frequency response that looks like a sine waveLook, I know you think the world of me, that's understandable, you're only human, but it's not nice to call somebody "Vain"!Comment

Nice speakers, especially at that price point. You will enjoy the amount of bass you get with music. When I said what I said above, I had them in mind as a matter of fact. The bass to midrange transition is nice and seamless. The woofers are not thunderous with home theater material, but adequate. We've sold a lot of these at my store, and most everyone loves them.Last edited by KvHagedorn; 25 July 2002, 19:31.Comment

My salesman was promoting my KEF 107s as not needing a sub since they deliver such tight low bass. I still bought a Velodyne ULD-15 Series II sub to go with them and I'm sure glad I did. We rewired them and tweaked them including matching the crossover to the KEFs and they really deliver a quality boom. 13 years old and still sweet as honey.

The ULD15 is a classic. We had one at our store forever and used a frequency test CD on it.. We wanted to see what 17Hz would sound like and if we could hear it.. well we put the disc on and nothing! The woofer was moving wildly but we couldn't hear anything. So I walked across the room and suddenly was hit by this massive bass note. It just shook my diaphragm! Gotta be in the right place with waves that large I suppose.
