I am using Cadence Diva floorstanding speakers 2.0 (two-way, 8-ohm, front-ported speakers with a stated frequency range of 42 Hz to 25 kHz, a sensitivity of 88.5 dB, and a power handling range of 50 to 200 watts).
I have recently got an SMSL DA-9 Amplifier that has a sub out.
Some days back, I thought of using sub out of amp by adding Edifier T5 subwoofer (8" Speaker Driver, low pass filter with 38Hz frequency response). I can only afford this subwoofer and is readily available in my country. So other subwoofers are out of my consideration.
A forum member who is well versed in these matters suggested I won't gain much in terms of lower frequencies by adding a T5 woofer into my setup as my floorstanders' frequency range starts from 42 Hz while of Edifier at 37 Hz.
Plus, the subwoofer may require proper adjustment and tuning to gel with my floorstanders, which may not be worthwhile the efforts, money, and space.
So I dropped off the idea but since the T5 sub is now cheaply available in my country as a part of festival season, I could buy it.
Attached is a pic of my living room where I listen to music.
Since there is hardly any place to keep a woofer next to my speakers, I was thinking of keeping the woofer inside a no-door wooden closet (see red circle) that is located behind the curtain, which means at least 1 foot behind the speakers and also behind the curtains.
What do you think about the proposed location of the woofer?
Feel free to suggest better locations as minor adjustment with the furniture is possible.
Or do you also think that I should drop the idea altogether?
thanks in advance
