I notice this does not come with a subwoofer. Is the bass still deep? Do they sell a separate subwoofer if I decide to get this?

I purchased the sound bar along with the Martin Login Subwoofer. This is my second purchase of the subwoofer as well as why I bought the sound bar.The New subwoofer is wireless to make it easier to install. Sounds great. This replaces my earlier 7.1 built in system. Much less complicated.

the bass in "normal" mode is deep but balanced. there's also an deep bass mode which is off the charts, especially for music. you can add a sub, but i don't see a need for it.

I purchased a separate subwoofer to compliment the speaker. I am totally satisfied with this system; the sound is amazing! I recommend this system without reservation.

For the room that we have this unit installed. the bass is not very deep without a subwoofer. They do sell one separately, but it costs about $600. I think you will be happier with a subwoofer - at least I know that I am.

It has a reasonably warm and deep lower midrange; voices sound more natural through the Motion Vision than other less worthy competitors. Although, for full throttle film enjoyment, you will want to add a subwoofer. MartinLogan makes excellent subwoofers; designed to enhance the sound of their legedary electrostatic speaker designs. That being said, there are many other worthy subwoofers that may be a better fit for your room and budget; remember that a subwoofer's capacity to match the Motion Vision is not as challenging as the speed that must be achieved by a subwoofer when tryng to keep up with a pure electrostatic design.

For a soundbar with the speakers of such small size, the low end response is very good-particularly for apartment living. However, ML does make a subwoofer that could accompany this. For louder or more demanding music or movie listening, a good subwoofer (there are many that would be computable) would be a welcome addition.

It really depends on what you ar looking for. Amongst sound bars I would rate this bass top notch. Not boomy or overly pronounced but it definitely provides a solid bass presence. IMO is is perfect for TV and most music and more than serviceable for the average movie. There is also the standard sub out and accompanying digital bandpass if you want to add a sub. However, if you are looking for the full HT sound for action movies (feel the bass etc) I would be looking at a 5.1 system, not a soundbar. Personally I have the ML bar downstairs and a full HT upstairs in a dedicated room. I would say we stay downstairs for 90% of our media consumption and only head to the full HT for a few very select titles. It really depends on what you ar looking for.

Yes, the bass is already pretty deep. You can plug in any regular subwoofer into it too. Plus ML sells a wireless one too.

This is the best Soundbar by far. They do sell a separate subwoofer but IMHO you do not need it. For reference, I have dual 400W monoblocks powering JM Lab Utpoias and I am used to clean highs, big soundstages and deep bass for reference listening. This fantastic soundbar is better than anything on the market and fills my 30x50 great room from 30hz to 18khz.

Bass is pretty good by itself. At first I did not have a subwoofer and it sounded fine. However, I later got the MartinLogan 700W to go along with it, and love it. Any subwoofer can connect to this soundbar when wired, but only MartinLogan SWT-2 wireless will work. I have the MartinLogan 700W. The "W" is important because it has SWT-2, unlike the older model 700, which is SWT-1.

NO, there is no subwoofer in the package. The sound bar, in my opinion is sound bar is sub-standard. I have 42" Lg also, I purchased a Visio sound bar for it and I was happy with the arrangment.

This speaker isnt really made for bass. With an after market head unit they sound nice, excellent really but id still add a subwoofer to the system if i were after loads of bass.

No, you do not have to have a subwoofer. It's awesomer when you do, but still awesome without it.

This does require a separate bass. Only a center speaker and performs very well for this purpose.

I believe these are discontinued, you'll have to buy it used from someone's old set or maybe find it from a store that still has old stock. I don't think you can buy the sub individually however.

I need to clarify something on my last answer... There are no built in subs in these speakers. They have dual 6.5 inch ported woofers. The low end sound they produce are more than adequate for my needs. If you choose to add a separate sub to your system, I feel you won't need much as this model of speaker carries the low end quite well

No. The speaker is on the bottom of the enclosure, however don't worry that it will not project the sound. Just stick this subwoofer in a corner of a room and it will fill the room with bass. I am very satified with mine!

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.

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.

Subs sound best if out in the open, against a wall at best.. The sub in question sounds great, adds power and dynamics to mixing and theator sounds.. I reccomend it..

Dear Grant,Thanks so much for your inquiry. The Klipsch RF-62 II Floorstanding speakers are awesome. Terrific clarity, great imaging, decent amount of bass. They are not, however, a subwoofer, which is amplified speaker that does bass only. One certainly cannot replace the other--they accomplish two different things in your system. Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance.Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

These speakers Do Not have sub woofers, they have Bass-Mid drivers. That being said, it depends on what kind of sound you like. If you like Booming, Un-natural sounding bass, add a sub woofer. I have a large, powerful sub that I'm Not Using as these speakers make plenty of bass on their own and it is good sounding bass. That is one reason I choose such a large speaker. People who are not getting good bass from these speakers DO NOT have them set up correctly. Yes, you can use a sub but you really do not need one IMHO.

It comes with everything, but from my experience the bass is close to non existent. If you need bass, i think this would be a grand disappointment.

The soundbar only has preset eqs and 3 level of subs. It doesn't have separate bass and treble settings. It's all presets

Yes, it comes with the sub built in. I've wondered if it (the sub that is built in) can be replaced, actually...

Sorry but am not using a subwoofer. You may want to call sony support. they are very helpful.
