I, for one, do not 'have room acoustic problems'.
Nor do I 'need a subwoofer'. These self-advertisements are quite disparaging don't you think?

P.S. OK, I do 'need cables'...

You probably do need a sub, but don't know it yet

Do you're windows rattle, you're ornaments move across their shelves, the neighbours bang on the walls screaming that they can't hear themselves think when you play music or watch a film really loud?

If the answer is no. Then you really need a subwoofer!

I wouldn't dream of using my AV equipment without having my 5 subs working overtime!

BOOOM BOOOOM BOOOOOOM!

The thing here that we are all missing is that if we took our subs and put them in our cars, we would all be called Chavs!

Re: I, for one, do not 'have room acoustic problems'.
What is it with Salt on threads these days?

Is there some new fashion of Salt Binges or something i'm missing out on

Salt abuse is bad you guys!
Stop snorting it/smoking it/injecting it or whatever the score is!

Buy prepared crap? Loads of it for free in my local park.....

but you are right.....very few items of food need salt - pasta maybe an exception.....

And my sub is full of salt to make it heavier......BOOOM BOOOM but ensure it floats......

Who is/was the guy who had 4 Paradigm Servo15 subs in his set-up

(Just for anybody who doesn't know these are bad muthafuddies. I only have 1 and that's enough).

So in answer to 1st post... if you think you don't need a sub then you ain't doing it right

Do you think the other boards have the occasional advert for General Chat?

Everyone needs to complain about something!
Head over to General Chat now and rant your balls off!

According to Radio 2's Jeremy Vine show the other week, if you have a widescreen TV and surround sound you're a chav. My daughter's hamster didn't think we needed a sub as it escaped (the hamster not the sub), chewed thorugh the wires and made a nest in my first sub!!

Im saving up for a nice sub and some very nice speakers and a very nice amp now
thats the Kop we all know and like

what about 10.2 though - 10 subs and 2TVs/stereo speakers isnt it?

you gotta lose a bit of bass from the rather large sub
