Dual mono with REL Subwoofer

[marcor]

Has anyone that uses subwoofers with their Dev ever compared the sound quality with the subs engaged vrs just using SAM (assuming your speakers are SAM’d). I am considering getting subwoofers (have never used them) and currently use SAM at 35%. SAM at 100% seemed at times like too much bass. Am a little concerned that dual woofers might be too much bass also in my 11’ X 13’ room.

I did. I found that for certain tracks the SAM 100% was too boomy for my speakers (SF Amati Futura) but I haven't found the same with the Sub. Not sure why, perhaps it could be because I can control more carefully the cut off level or change the volume of the sub independently, making sure it doesn't overpower the music.
Don't know exactly but it just sounds better. 
my 2 cents.
