bass at volume is always going to be tied to the woofer diameter/ displacement and the size of the room it needs to drive.
bookshelf speakers have it hardest, it sounds like you need floorstanding speakers. i have that setup now and spend my entire life adjusting my sub volume. i dont believe it matches my m22's linearly, ie, i need it almost off when playing quiet music and dialed well over half for loud. if you are a fire and forget person i dont think subs are suitable. Im definately going the floorstanding route. pity your wife wont play along. _sam -- teanau ------------------------------------------------------------------------ teanau's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2575 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19023 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
