In Reply to: The topic is, distinguishing differences, whatever that means. posted by soulfood on April 4, 2012 at 10:18:18:
Let me change my tack. A sub is designed to bring the deep bass up to the point where it can match the output level of the midbass. But in my experience, which is not broad, where the difference seems to come is in the mid and upper bass where the additional driver(s) and large cabinets of the floorstanders generate more bass energy. Subs don't (or probably shouldn't) operate much above 40 Hertz. So you can tell the difference between a standmount w/sub and a floorstander because while the former may match (or exceed) the floorstander in hitting low notes, it still is unlikely to match it in bass energy in the mid and upper bass. And then there's the argument about coherence. Theoretically that shouldn't come into play if the sub stays down where it's "supposed" to be. And if there are a pair of them. I have never much liked subs but can't really say quite why. Maybe it's because I expect them to play a different role than they actually do. I want them to add overall impact and fullness. That's not what they do.
