To sub or not to sub...
In 1975, I worked in a high-end stereo store. At the tender age of 16, I became an audiophile. Even the ebony-veneered Klipschorns we had just didn't go low enough for me. Subwoofers just weren't a thing back then. All I know is I wanted one. Spending years on stage, standing in front of some kicking bass rigs, demonstrated my desire to experience the low frequencies. I even volunteered to play bass drum in high school band. My dilemma is this. All of the speakers I have sold or owned sounded beautiful. I have to admit, the Large Advents were always my favorites. Am I just addicted to bass? I put very little in my mix. I think a lot of people couldn't care less. I wish I could listen to a set without the sub and enjoy it but to me, something is missing. Pay no attention to me. I am just talking it through. Is a sub something you have to have, or you could take it or leave it?
