Is it sacrilege to use bass management for a two channel set up? If Billy P. were to get a sub which one would you suggest? Do you have suggestions for a two channel integrated amp with full bass management? Give us your thoughts in the comments section we would love to hear your opinions on what you would do? Thanks for watching!

2 Channel Bass Management is a huge upgrade for most i think. not heard that expression to often, i can only assume it means high pass to main speaker and some eq features. You can get far with only eq or dsp tuned by ear, like a global eq, then you also have the adjustments on the subwoofer. also plugging ports is a tuning method, and of course placement.

It's mostly an issue for watching movies with a 2 channel setup. Those dynamic swings are usually a lot more dramatic than 2 channel music. If your trying to setup a "reference" 2 channel system the a HPF+subs are a must.

you're* trying

Erin, most of the time, on his reviews, posts a distortion graph with an 80Hz high pass applied. In some cases, most distortion is in the low frequencies so the speaker actually benefits from the high pass a lot. But in some other cases, distortion is high in higher frequencies too so the high-pass filter will not do much. In any case, bass management will never hurt, and it is surely desired.

[@sudd3660]

if you can high pass, then try it higher than 80hz, even more benefits lies there. and the high pass improves the performance of the amplifier also, if you have dsp before the amp, witch is preferable. and when you did all this, but forget to buy the right speaker, you have high passes a ported speakers for example. people really need to have a system thought out and not just tach on features.

I think his question was, if you have a sub that has line level in and a low pass filter, but it doesn’t have a high pass to send the remaining signal back to the speaker amplifier, is that an issue? If there’s no hipass, the speaker will get a full range signal, while the sub will only get whatever is low-passed. Does this change your answer/perspective at all? I have the same issue, SVS subs don’t have a hipass setting…

Hmmm, a simple clear question for which you all did not at all answer. Any chance you all plan on shooting another video where you do address this very important topic (as in many folks would benefit from an experienced/educated answer) ?
