[QUOTE="User121314, post: 1144309, member: 16824"] In our previous abode I had a pair of Boston A26 bookshelves in my office which doubled as a secondary listening room. I really enjoyed them, and still regret selling them. I tried first 1 sub - an ASW608, and could not get a happy medium / crossover. It was always boomy, muddied bass. Then on advice from "those in the know" added a second one. Even worse. The only way I could get anywhere near a pleasant listening experience was to have one in the middle of the room & the other slightly outside the entranceway to the room. I wore holes in my jeans crawling around the floor..... So whilst it may seem to be a great idea, there are times when it just simply does not work. Tried again when we moved to our current house. Still unable to create a pleasant listening experience, so I sold the A26's (idiot!!!) and one sub, gave the second sub to a friend who needed one for his HT. "Upgraded" to the FS120 floorstanders and subsequently back to bookshelves. No sub. I reckon some rooms / listening environments simply do not lend themselves to adding a sub or subs. [/QUOTE]
