Do those speakers really need subwoofers?
Well the Talon Firebirds have 11inch Focal woofers and 300lb composite cabinets - they have excellent bass - but I had them placed 6 ft from the back wall. As with any speaker the further from the rear wall the less bass room re-enforcement. So the twin Velodyne DD-12s did the trick. The DD-12's have a unique in room tuning system. A built in tone generator and comes with a high quality mic. Using an active parametric eq - you can pretty much elminate any room nodes - and smoothly intregrate with the main speakers. So for the 100Hz to 10Hz range the Velodynes were killer good. 1500 watt amps built into each. On drum transients would rattle the dishes in the kitchen on the floor above. Wifey loved that!
