Is this subwoofer a good choice for a music only (classical/jazz) system?

yes, as long as you are using it with a home theater system and not live music system

I've been happy with wiring the second inputs separately on the big L and R speakers and using that for the low end, but I'm also not a major bass-head. I'd suggest trying that first and then if you feel you need to add a sub, do it.

I have the 7.2 system but did not elect to have 2 subwoofers although the room is 22'by 18' with 20' ceilings.I believe it would give you a full sound.u could just buy the single sub,try it out,then buy the second.

Now that I've had this speaker for several months, I can say that it is marginal as a subwoofer. It really depends on the equalization of the music you are playing. It has problems in the 200-800 Hz range. I try to keep those frequencies down as much as I can. I used to own a sound and lighting company so I am very picky about how things sound. There are a lot better subwoofers out there but will cost you more money. I will eventually replace this with a separate power amp and subwoofer that is stronger in the low-mid frequencies.

I'm quite happy with mine, I running 5 Martin Logan and a sub woofer and I think it's very good for the price. I'm not sure what kind of speakers you have

I'd say yes, unless your band is very loud, which they shouldn't be. It's pretty amazing how large a space you can cover with this little thing. I've used it with a quartet, and it's been fine... You can also hook up a powered sub-woofer, if you really wanted extra oomph, but for Jazz, I've never had to do that yet.

no. the bass is crisp. you don't need a subwoofer. it will shake your home. with the 180watt amp, its like buying a stereo rather than a speaker.

A subwoofer would certainly augment the overall sound quality by providing deep bass but if you are mainly using these as ambient sound drivers they should be more than enough

This is a great subwoofer. I run it through an old Peavy crossover and it sounds great... way more control. You can find crossovers used for less than $50.

Absolutely. This unit provides nice clean bass. Would be great for smaller room.

I'm on a budget, and am using a Yamaha YST-SW216 powered sub (around $130 here), which works fine.

A number of companies offer surround bars with subwoofers at a reasonable price. And they sound pretty good to me when I've listened to them in stores. However, I don't think there's any substitute for a nice 5.1 or 7.1 surround system, if you can locate and wire the rear speakers and you have a good amount of physical separation. The sound bars do a pretty good job, but a real 5.1 system (not that expensive in my opinion) is worth it. Some people will find a surround system over-kill, cringe at the sound of a subwoofer for normal programming, distracting for some movies. I think you should go listen to these setups and experience it first hand... A number of companies offer surround bars with subwoofers at a reasonable price.

Yes, I found the sound to be very good for a mono system. The treble and bass control provides a nice sound adjustment when music is played.

That's hard for me to say. My sub is crossed at 100Hz due to my Polk satellites being ... satellites. It sounds good but you can hear some distortion when playing Royals at higher volumes. You're right, there's tons of bass in her music. I may try this again after I adjust the gain and see what results I get. Overall you can't beat the sub for the price, but it's not going to sound better than a $400 sub. Well, most nicer $400 subs. ;)

It is and makes them sound so much better. set the receiver to no subwoofer and wire everything through the bass module and you will be fine. Im using parts of my old Acoustimass system with Bose 301 fronts and a JBL center channel and it sounds great.

Thang:Thanks for your reply. If I have understood you correctly, I would be able to use the single cube speakers that I have with my Bose system. The subwoofer special connection rules out using it with any other system except Bose. Thanks for your helpful information.Charles

You'll need to supplement this speaker with a sub-woof, particularly at loud listening levels. Given it's size, and the number of drivers in the cabinet, it's not really intended to move the sofa around the room with you seated upon it. That said, from mid-bass upwards into the higher octaves, the Primus is 'razor sharp' in clarity, 'forward' in sound projection, and offers a broad dispersion pattern. It's worth what they're asking for it.
