I have a VSX-1131 receiver and right now I'm only using JBL 230's..they sound pretty good. I have a pair of JBL 100T's, I was wanting to use as front speakers and the 230's as rear. The L100T's woofers are being re foamed right now. So it would be better to use the 100T's as rear speaker and 230's as front? How would I set that up in the receiver as 2.0 setup? I may add a center later on, don't think a sub will be needed...but maybe
thanks
I'm a bass player, and I play a five string. I'm also a huge fan of Genesis. So really DEEP, but not boomy, bass is really important to me. I made the switch to using a subwoofer way back in the 90's for all systems I have. The first truly amazing system I ever heard actually used bookshelf speakers the size of JBL L100's with a subwoofer. It was simply amazing on Edgar Winter's Frankenstein, and this was back in 1975. It was powered by a Phase Linear 700.
When you use a subwoofer, it really frees up the woofers in your main speakers to focus on everything else without those long throws. In fact, my amp has it's own shelving settings so I can sharply roll off the bass at the same frequency at which the sub comes in.
Frankenstein...was that Montrose or Derringer
Edgar. :)
BTW, the speaker system was Cerwin Vega.
