Is anyone using these with a subwoofer as well? I'm wondering if that combination would produce a more full sound spectrum.

I am using a pair of these as the speakers in a zone 2 (difrerent room as main system) of a 2-zone system. The main system has a powered subwoofer and in my very specific case, since I normally have the same audio in both zones (I never use zone 2 by itself, always to provide the same music to an adyacent room) and both rooms are next to each other, the subwoofer can be heard in zone 2 and actually fills quite a bit the audio from the Bose speakers. A second subwoofer in zone 2 would be a lot better but I don't really need it. So yes, a subwoofer will produce a fuller sound spectrum.

No, but I think it using a subwoofer alway enhence the sound.. I have the same problem, this speakers are very limited... compared with Jamo.

These speakers are not designed for your two main (front) speakers on your sound system, or home theater system (unless in a very small room, such as a dorm room, etc). These speakers are best used for your rear or side speakers in a surround sound setup. If you opt to use them as your main speakers, you could add a subwoofer directly to the receiver to give added bass output to the system. However, again, unless the room is small, these would not be the best choice for your 2 main speakers.

I'm returning my energies right as we speak.. and gonna give these a shot, my energies sounded crisp clear and beautiful with my polk fronts and hafler sub.. but a normal levels certain frequencies had them buzzing and popping..... in a tiny room they might do ok as 7.1 one with better fronts and sub like I said.. but on there own or in a full size living room they are completely worthless to me

We have a sub woofer so I cannot say how it will sound without one. I can say the sound is great with the subwooferP.S. I just installed a new Bose Lifestyle V325 System that came with a new center channel speaker so I will be posting it for sale on Amazon soon.

I bought these as a pair for sub bottoms of main P.A. cabinets, they work well for this because there's a built in frequency crossover that passes thru to the main cabinets. I also have a mixing board and digital audio rack with signal enhancement. I would recommend these subs for this type of application. Hope I helped

i have a Polk PSW125 Sub, that i have had for a while, it sounds great with the Klipsch Quintet 5.0 speakers, i think that any good powered sub, will do fine.

Did you end up pairing these with a Connect amp? What has your experience been? Sorry for a question to a question.

Same answer as others. Dont see the point in changing them, what you could do is buy a subwoofer that would give you an incredebly sound. Good luck!

Yes the speakers work just fine without the sub. The difference will be amazing when you do hear them with the sub.

Susan, I originally bought a pair with the sub woofer. I then wanted to do a 5.1 home theather and added another pair without the sub woofer. I am using an Onkyo TX-NR414. Works great!

I have an SVS sub paired with mine. I use them primarily for home theater, but I listen to music as well. They sound really good together. I've never really used the speakers alone. I do not think it's too much bass. If so, you could always dial down your sub a bit.

I haven't had the situation myself but, I would say yes because subwoofers have their own amplifiers, so you may be able to split the signal without any problem.

Probably worth buying a more advanced subwoofer.... Thought mine was but unfortunately my RCA connection to my subwoofer did not work so I tried connecting my subwoofer to my two front speakers. Don't know if that is the proper way but that thing is delivering a thumping bass

I use mine with a sub woofer. They are nice speakers but have no low end, so a sub woofer is a must.

No, these units have very nice bass response. You could add a subwoofer if you like floor shaking bass, otherwisethe speakers sound very balanced with a good low end.

You didn't say what you're using them for and if you have a subwoofer but have you looked at the plastic speakers ? They are light and sound pretty decent.
