I bought into the whole "let the subwoofer handle the bass" recently and have been completely disappointed with music reproduction.
For movies it is great, but music is just horrible. Switching from 15" 3way speakers to 5.25" towers and a 12" sub sounds empty. Even with a pair of 12" subs the music sounds empty. It is like a portion of (mid) bass is just not there. I watched the spectrum on a phone app and identified the range in the 125-300hz range. I assume this is the directional bass spectrum and what is missing is the directional bass stereo effect the larger woofers provide in this range. Seems to mostly affect older heavy metal and old school rap.
How do I salvage this?
