Will Sid really go subwooferless?

Well, the answer is semi - yes, for the moment anyways...

Im thinking about getting a VMPS dedicated subwoofer -- lay it down sideways on the bottomg shelf of my TV stand behind the preamp and CDP (since I play my sub at such low volume anyways) --

Get an amp that has a built in xover in it (compact), etc etc...

The 12" Megawoofer is a beast, so that should be an excellent adventure...

But for now, I think I will enjoy having no subs

    I dont -really- need a sub, no...

    But a sub would definitely had some fill to movies and music with low low bass passages... but the 7u has tons of bass for the most part...

    For movies yes. I agree. Run 2 channel in stereo (no LFE) and Movies in surround sound. GO FOR IT. LOL

    haha, I will agree though that subs add a good amount of ambience to music that speakers that arnt full range just cant match...

    Ah, forget about a sub for now. You already experienced what huge freakin' badass dual subs can do in your room and you sold them. Anything less will be a disappointment.

    Exactly, no one really cares what you do or don't do sub wise Trey.

    I've heard quite a few Totem subs.

    What you need to do is go to the Home Entertainment Show (thats usually in NYC) and speak with the guys at Totem. That's how I met them in person and was able to talk to them - very nice bunch of guys.
