I have always been a proponent of dual subs, one for each channel. Could anyone tell me of their setup experiences setting up dual HSU subs in their rooms.

I wonder if there are any intentions of including low level outputs that include a crossover for the main speakers. Any comments on whether this feature has been missed my HSU users?

Thanks

Dual sub would be better served if they could be placed in a room so that it smooths out the overall bass compared to a single sub.

Lexicon is a proponent for utilizing multiple subs and using their proprietary algorithm so that the bass would feel more real.

If it is to play back stereo bass in the recording, you usually don't get much of that anyway unless the recording used spaced omnis.

Hsu's older sub amps always included high quality active high-pass crossover adjustable via plug in resistor modules. It is still available in their 500w amp. They probably dropped this feature in their lineup since most of the sub's application would be in a HT environment that has its own bass management.
