Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo Sub or No Sub when listening to 2 channel cd music

Hello All- Wanted to get feedback to see if you guys use your Subwoofer when listening to 2 channel music cd's through M60's. I have an EP500 and typically use it w/a60hz crossover for music but am starting to think that the M60's by themselves offer more accurate bass for 2 channel cd's. Wanted to get everyone's thoughts or how they do it. Thanks again all.

Sub, 60 Hz cross, speakers set to Large.

I posted same question a few months ago here, and most of the replies I got suggested I DO USE a sub for 2 channel music listening, contrary to my belief. I have not got a sub yet though, will get one once I build my HT. For now, I am more than happy with the base performance of my M60s.

I have my speakers set to "small" with 80hz crossover. Bass is pretty full and when cranked, sounds crisp. Sadly, cranked is on the endangered list as of late.

When I had 60s, I listened without the sub. I do the same with my 80s now.

I listen to 2ch with the sub crossed at 60hz. But to be honest, the sub dosen't add much to music inless it's a real bass intensive group of tunes.

I have only had my 60's for about 2 weeks. I have listened both with and without the sub. Mostly without. I think the 60's sound just fine without it, but on the other hand if I had a sub hooked into the system I would probably leave it on. It can't hurt it can only help. When I had the 60's in the HT system I had it set to large and crossed over at 40.

60's + sub for me. I have an integrated amp, so I use the sub's low pass crossover of 50Hz, thus the 60's are running full range and the sub pops in when it's called upon. If I had something like the Outlaw ICBM I'd probably cross at 60Hz.

I use a sub with my M80s,it's a stereo setup.I do have the Outlaw ICMB and have the crossover at 60hz.

I read some infor on this Outlaw ICMB that I just learnt for the first time from you guys, and sounds very usefull for a multi-channel music application. Another thing to consider when I start building my HT!!
