I am quite interested in if you can actually hear any difference between the M80 with a sub and without when playing music.
Ian is being very modest when he writes "pretty well". They do a damned fine job on bass..
...
The M80 speaker doesn't really have much db falloff until you are around the 30-35hz range and that is getting very close to the inaudible range anyway. Unless you are listening to a highly processed dance/rap music that uses the synthetic boom lower thumping sound, I can't really see much music getting to that level. ...
Yup. Depending on your room, you may well see a little room gain below 40 Hz as well.
Since I have an EP350 that plays flat to 20 Hz, I am in a good position to test this out. The only music I really noticed the sub on was some classical pipe organ stuff I have.
I'm not a purist, so I have my system set to 2.1 for two channel sources.
