You've seen them, mega buck state of the art speakers by MBL, Von Schweikert, Gryphon, Genesis and various others with four towers - high frequency, midrange and woofers all slamming the room for a huge lifelike musical experience. We've seen more and more of these configurations over the years so they must be working and equally as important, selling.
Expensive for certain but can also be exciting and immersive as a SOTA speaker should be.
My experience with these speakers has been that the huge woofer towers "can" bring a very realistic presentation to the soundstage by flushing out and filling the room with that last bit of controlled bass.
So my question is, do you believe one can one achieve a fair percentage of these SOTA speakers by adding more bass foundation to a lower price speaker?
Lets say you have a $50,000 to $100,000 speaker system that is quite robust on it's own, can you achieve near the performance of a SOTA $250,000 four tower speaker by adding that last layer of foundation. With, dare I say it, subwoofers?
If you bought two high quality subwoofers for very little money compared to your $50,000 to $100,000 speaker will you screw up the sound or make it better?
