So a subwoofer does make a difference

My son left a little subwoofer behind when he left for school, and has never reclaimed it. I have a pair of Acoustic Research Connoisseur 35T, which are smallish for floor speakers - 3 way with an 8" woofer, 6.5" mid and titanium tweeter - so they don't shake the room with bass. I was surprised that adding the sub actually had more effect on acoustic stuff than on Led Zepplin. Just finished playing Mazzy Star - So Tonight That I Might See, and the clarity was amazing. I suppose the sub frees up the main speakers to really deliver on the mids and highs. The setup did a good job on FZ's Apostrophe too. Now listening to a Smithsonian Jazz Piano collection. Maybe a little Esparanza Spaulding next.

Regards,

D-Ray
