Well, I did it. I finally bought a subwoofer. I was going to upgrade my inexpensive bookshelf speakers to towers, but this was the far more cost-effective solution and those bookshelves still sound fantastic.

RSL Speedwoofer 10S mkII is on its way. That would get me down to 18 Hz with room gain. 😎

@voltronic I suspect it’s an audio myth that towers are more capable than bookshelf speakers. It depends on a number of things, but it’s not such a certainty.

I tend to favor bookshelf speakers on stands, as they can more easily be moved away from walls, which is usually a much bigger deal for imaging.

I hope you enjoy the new arrangement!

100% agreed. In this scenario the crossover (and amplifier configuration) becomes quite important, but the results can be (opinion) mind-boggling.

@codeWhisperer
The Audyssey room correction in my receiver should make it very simple to integrate, too. No manual setting of crossover and phase.
