subwoofer?

[Andrew Tarpinian]

I have heard if your room is not set up properly a sub can create more problems than solve. I'm sure it could help just to have as reference though.  I believe my D8's go down to 44Hz. Then I check my k702's which supposedly go down to 10Hz I think. Then software like Lives eq 8 and izotope ozone. I think it's possible to get it down to a mathematical science visually in the plugin rather than a subjective opinion. Also experience helps so now you have some. 

I'm not good at any of this shit yet so that just my opinion.

I have a fairly small space (<20 square meters) with two Tannoy Ellipse 10" speakers as my main monitors and some different pairs to compare (K&H O96, but not well calibrated and a pair of KRK v4).
