How many here enjoy their tunes in 2.1?
I have tried it both ways (with and without the sub) and I like the bass extension of the .1 channel.
Any thoughts?

In most cases (depending on the music you listen to) a sub is a necessity to give the fullest experience possible. keep in mind a lot of music contains content well into the 20s and 30s....
Personally I love having a sub, Im such a bass head in car audio that i tend to bring that into my home as well

Two channels and a sub are all I need

You were the last person here I thought would say that! Not to say that is a bad thing, just as a audio purist I didnt think you would feel the need for a .1 channelOriginally Posted by JimJ

The subs are required to get the lows. Just like in a car audio setup. A regular car setup is 2.1 if u really wanna think about it.You were the last person here I thought would say that! Not to say that is a bad thing, just as a audio purist I didnt think you would feel the need for a .1 channel

Got Bass?
the .1 is needed. It's amazing how much even a low powered yet SQ oriented sub can enhance a song. There are many notes that the 2 speakers cannot produce that will significantly improve the song. Thats just my .02

Nah, subwoofers have their placeYou were the last person here I thought would say that! Not to say that is a bad thing, just as a audio purist I didnt think you would feel the need for a .1 channel
The trick is supporting the lower octaves without drawing unnecessary attention to them and making it sound "boomy" and artificial...this is what a lot of people on this forum prefer

With some stereo system a sub is not needed. When I listen to a good majority of music on my B&W 703s I turn my sub off. Mostly because I hate how it ruins the stereo imaging in the lower frequencies. I just need to get one more sub so I have stereo subs. But, I don't think it is that worth it. I do however think it depends on the speakers you have.

I can listen to my Axioms alone and get great bass extension. The sub adds more realism and "feel" to that bellowing organ though...I do however think it depends on the speakers you have.

Maybe it is just me. LOL....
Anyway, 90% of setups I have heard the sub is too strong for me anyway. So, maybe it is me...
Oh well...
