I read a very interesting review by Dick Olsher, one of the reviewers I happen to respect. In this case his opinion struck a cord, given my own experience. Dick-O believes that people spend silly money on subs for a problem that they do not address at all. Subs range of operation without significant distortion is up to 125hz -150hz. But where we invariably perceive a lack in bass energy and presence is in the mid-bass region, which the sub has nothing to do with. For music, I've never been able to get a sub to integrate properly, and I've tried. I guess they're fine for movie effects, or if you want to drive around in a low-rider or pimped-out Escalade booming out earthquake sounds that sound more like Zeus farting than anything resembling music. Otherwise the only sub I will enjoy will be from my local deli.

What do you think?
