I've noticed in a number of posts that people tend to set their speakers to "small" and route all bass to their subwoofers.
What are the benefits of this?
My set-up incorporates Mission 775es as mains, which as some may know, are BEEFY floorstanders which extend quite low.
In a demo I gave to boltoa from the forums last week (he was buying a sub from me and I played a short demo without the sub to show the comparison) I was frankly shocked at how low my mains extended (in a good way!)
With a Servo 15 in the system, obviously bass is not a problem anyway, but at the same time I hate to think of my mains not being used to their full potential (if that makes sense!).
I know the typical response will be "well try it out"....but I've been tinkering all day and I'm not sure I can notice any difference (but then I'm ill atm and my ears are a bit screwed).
Views?
