So...
I have a new pair of Bowers & Wilkins 805D3 bookshelf/monitor speakers that are awesome--and they damn well should be at $6000 for the pair!
My question is this...
Due to location and size constraints, I need to stick with a bookshelf. I happy very happy with the 805D3s, but they are a bookshelf, and I would like something to get me a little more oommppff in the lower mids and bass. I am thinking about adding a sub to this mix.
I am a 2 channel music listener....not using for movies at all. Do you think a high quality sub will give me more in the mids and bass if it has a adjustable crossover and I set it as such? I know it may seem silly to some, but I like a little more kick than most in the music, but I don't want to go to a full floor standing speaker.
A) Will it work for my requirements?
B) Is using a sub in a 2.1 channel configuration that common?
C) Any downside?
Thanks.
