does anyone use subwoofers in their setup?

It's simply still not implemented in online configuration , almost for two weeks of waiting now.
When Oceane Turpin said ASAP I thought in a day or two.

I'll reopen the case and see what they respond. Keep you posted.

I have JL E-112, and soon Im gettimg another one. They are nice subs. (Im not devialet owner)

My spies tell me that firmware 8.1.3 will have the addition of "a delay feature". Another post on this forum today suggests 8.1.3 will be released into the wild next week. That's all I know, as to what the "delay feature" is and how or if it will be incorporated into the configurator, I haven't a clue!

Confused , you probably right ,

I was convinced I might need a sub with my 400 + triangle speakers, so I borrowed a REL S3 from those nice people at Oxford Audio. After an initial confusion as to how best to wire up, I consulted all the REL destructions on wiring this beast up to mono's, although they kept referring to 4 wires (red,yellow & 2 x black) yet mine had only 1 black, so I made the assumption that 1 black is fine as long as it got put onto just one of the -ve posts.

Sure enough, got it working over the weekend. (Red to +ve Top, Yellow to +ve bottom, black to -ve Bottom) and prepared for some revelations... and was disappointed!

Much to my surprise, I could not hear any appreciable difference, which rather surprised me.

The sub was definitely working, and I did mess with the various adjustments which did change things a bit, but turning off and then on again with a wide mix of tracks seemed to show that the Deltas were pushing out competing deep bass to similar levels, enough to make the sub irRELevant (did you see what I did there? ) ????

Even when winding up the bass through the D400 remote, the output seemed equally strong on both.

Frankly I still don't understand why the sub did not show a step-up in the lower registers?

Have my ears got that old? Can't be right, surely!

for me its not massive night and day differences, but having 2 subs definitely adds... something... to my room! its a subtle difference and my descriptors of various auditory effects are probably not on par yet.

either way i wouldnt give them up!

did you try setting up a crossover so that the speakers and subs werent competing at those low notes to see if it made a difference? just because a speaker can play low notes doesnt mean its doing it well?

If there aren't (m)any issues in bass reproduction for a given room/loudspeaker/loudspeaker placement combination then a sub can't help to fix issues that aren't there!

Setting up a subwoofer the -right way- isn't easy though. IMO measurements are mandatory.

Personally I prefer low level connections (feeding the sub a pre-out/sub-out input) instead of the high level (feeding the sub using the main LS outputs). It gives you the possibility to employ crossover filters, delay, etc.
