Dr- why the need for subs? Seems in that room size would be unnecessary with X2s
Beautiful room as always - too bad its upstairs, although Im pretty light these days

Excellent thought about the subs as I tend to agree. The way they are set and crossed over results in only subtle changes but sufficient for some visceral impact

could the reason be for the subs... the low wattage Lamm's not being able to drive the bass as well ? I considered subs, but I don't need anymore bass as my amps deliver it in spades, so I am happy with the X-2's by themselves.

I do not know specifically in Steve's room but most of the time the really good thing about subs is that they are in a different position than the the main full ranges and help filling the nulls that can not be dealt otherwise. The X-2 with the front port is particularly critical in this aspect in some rooms.
As I posted before if you have a room null you will have a dip even if the amplifier can deliver Megawatts ...
When I first powered up the system I can say that the lamms moved more air than I could ever imagine. So much so that most people who hear the system say the subs aren't necessary. Christian you still seem to think that the Lamm ML 3 doesn't move air. You're in for a very big surprise.
I agree. Plus I have a better mid and upper range Christian
. Something Lamm is second to none IMHO.I agree. Plus I have a better mid and upper range Christian
+1. I also happen to be one of the people that think that Steve does NOT need subs in his room. The big Wilson's are more than capable in this area, plus the new room isn't that large that the speakers need that re-enforcement, at least IMHO.
What I found to my delight was how well the ML3 loads the room due to its size. That plus the room treatments and room response really produced a surprising amount of bass

When I was in Steve's room he turned the subs on and off but I really tell much of a difference. I would be just as happy without.
Plus you were listening at realistic levels
Realistic..but I want to stress, not at all uncomfortable.
