Orb Mod 1 Speakers are Fantastic!

Why would I listen to them without the subwoofer? What does bass extension mean?

The reason I asked, is because in many small speaker setups (such as Bose), the sub does most of the work. So a really marginal pair of small speakers can sound good because what one really hears is the sub. If these speakers are indeed high quality, they should be compared to other quality speakers w/o using a sub.

So my question is: how good do these speakers sound on their own? Is the bass noticeably there?

Sorry Nightflier I had a bit of a hard day and I might have been a little harh on my reply to you. I'll listen to themwithout the sub tommorow and let you know what I think, Nightfkier is the title of a great grade B movie you can get on video that stars Migel Ferrera and was written or inspired by Steven King that you night want to check out.

Haven't seen the movie. I'll check it out. I actually picked the name based on a song from Rush, one of my favorite bands back when I was younger, "Fly by Night."

So how do they sound w/o the sub? Do you have a seperate set of speakers to compare them to?
