Best subwoofer for Falcon LS3/5a?
Hi,
I love my Falcon LS3/5a for all the known reasons that LS3/5a have a loyal fan base. Having said that, I believe that my small speakers could use some extra bottom-end 'body', which is of course limited due to their limited volume.
I am wondering whether a subwoofer might be able to do the trick and offer the desired extension below 80Hz, but WITHOUT negatively affecting the speed and naturalness of the Falcons.
Oh, I have to clarify that I am also a neafield devotee, not due to room limitations, but because I feel that the nearfield listening position gives me more detail, more transparency and less room intervention.
Any comments about using a subwoofer? Any suggestions about subwoofers that could be a good match with the LS3/5a?
Enclosed a sketch of my listening room (blue area).
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
