So i currently have a cambridge audio Azur 550A driving a pair of wharfedale crystal 4.3 towers, which are a three-way design, with a frequency response ranging from 50 to 20 000 hz.
At times I like to listen to music and sometimes I'll hook up my amp's pre-outs to the sub's input and it does sound good, of course... but if i am to be completely honest, i kind of *like* and even *prefer* the sound that the tower speakers generate solo... that is without the subwoofer.
Although the SB1000 that i have does fill-jn the missing region of lower bass, especially from 20-35hz, i don't really think that it makes the 'listening experience' in my case any better...
I'd think that there would be instances where those who have 'decent' bookshelves would opt-out of a subwoofer, for similar reasons..
Can anybody else here relate to these thoughts?
EDIT: Please take into consideration that my sub is plugged into my AVR for HR use... AVR front pre outs --> amplifier's DVD input ---> 'DVD' setting ----> fronts and for music listening it's Macbook --> Apple music ----> Topping D10S -----> amplifier's aux inputs.. I can't change the wires around all of the time..
