Thanks for the confidence booster - I was ready to turn myself in so I wouldn't hurt myself.
Many thanks to all the forum members that guided me through this.

What if they don't find anything wrong?
And so far as not hearing any bass, the sub is there to fill in the gaps the M60s don't play that well so setting it that low to the same SPL as the M60s means you should hear the sub at those levels blended with the M60s not over the top like most people seem to like. Just try it before you send it out or when you get the sub back, it can't hurt.
I see you did try this in the subwoofer thread so never mind!

I feel that you do need a sub for music regardless whether it's stereo or not. Many feel that it's not needed for music. With some music I agree that I don't need it but for the majority, I'm glad it's there to fill in the gap.

I can't see myself ever going without a sub, I've been running one for so long. Even with the M80s in a stereo set up.

Ya know, I just realized that I have been going without a sub in a M80 stereo setup. Of course, I mostly listen on extracted surround (L7 or Neo6).

I just took the sub back to Future Shop for a full refund, less the freight charge of $45, to deliver from Alberta?
I am now free from the shackles of bondage to pursue another sub.

It appears that if you went without a sub for a long time, you didn't miss it, and hence, you simply don't need it. But I don't think that's what you want to hear.

That is no longer my problem (I'm not trying to sound cocky or arrogant) - I got my money back, and I'm now stalking new prey. The problem is finding stores to audition choices. I'd rather buy on the Internet, play with them if they sound like they have potential, and then make a buy or return to vendor choice.

Actually, no, I had it that way when I was experimenting with stereo listening. i have since returned to surround listening. Try Hsu's or Axiom's subs. AV123 may also have some models that interest you.

I know Paradigm is going to be releasing their new DSP based subs very soon, might be worth a listen if you can find a dealer.
I noticed you said the sub didn't play anything at 40hz so there was something wrong with it, not sure if that makes you feel any better about subs.
