<!-- #thumb --> <p>You’d think that after all the years I have been working in high end audio that I’d actually learn something. *It’s been over 40 years and I guess I am curious as to how long it takes me to really “get it”. *I went to setup the room at RMAF figuring it’s a small room and therefore I wouldn’t need a subwoofer. *After all, if you start with a full range pair of speakers and you put them into a small room, you should be fine. *Not so.</p>
<p>Unless there’s a built in subwoofer you always need an external one added to the system. *Why? *For those notes a normal loudspeaker pair, in any room, just don’t get. *In my head I hear what I have in Music Room One with the IRS. *In the room we are setting up I am trying to get as close as possible to that ideal sound. *Of course, on the one hand, the idea I can even get partially there is absurd and will never happen, but I’d be happy with even a pale representation of that sound.</p>
<p>But, of course, we show up at the room without even a thought of the subwoofer. *Had to get one sent up from Boulder. *And, of course, it helps greatly but on some notes it also over powers the room. *I wish I had another few days to work on the room, but at shows you get one and a half days of setup and you’re done.</p>
<p>I can sure preach it, but follow my own advice?</p>
