I know nothing about speakers or quality audio. Been a $200 stereo man all my life.
I've been shopping better speakers for over a year, nothing more than A/B listening tests in the store. Still don't know anything about them. I'm looking to create an exceptional audio system for my digital audio ... and of course I also want Hauptwerk to sound close to as awesome as it can in a 10x20 room that functions as my studio.
I'm 90% certain I've settled on the Martin Logan 60XT floor standing speakers. I'm imagining one of these on the floor on either side of my organ.
Judging from the exceptional sound in the listening room at the store where I heard these, I don't need a sub for listening to recorded music.
But can anyone with Hauptwerk experience say whether or not a subwoofer would revolutionize these things while playing the organ? Just a modest improvement? Barely even noticeable? (Again, in a 10x20 converted bedroom - maybe eventually a 15x30 living room.)
