Please do tell. How does Active LFR1100 make you all of a sudden not need a sub. And while you are at it, please explain what you have 3 subs hooked up to your Active LFR1100? You had just said that these speakers don't need a sub in the above quote then an hour later in https://www.axiomaudio.com/boards/u...advice-on-family-room-setting#Post444539 tell us how you have not only the largest sub Axiom makes (EP800) but an additional two EP600. Apparently the LFR1100 need to have 3 subs to work adequately in your room.

Sure. I'd be more than pleased to share that information for the 87th time Mr. Mattmanhasgonebuthascomebackthistimewithone.

I originally installed the actives in my 22x12x8 living room (~2000 cu ft). In that environment, the bass was unlike anything I've ever heard. I waxed poetically about it for 86 posts and this makes it 87.

Then I moved them to their permanent home in my 4400+ cu ft basement. No doubt the bass there was the most controlled and full I ever heard out of any speaker but that holiness I heard in my living room was gone.

The OP said the speakers were for his office. I assumed his office was no larger than my living room. Hence, if he had the actives, he wouldn't need a sub.
