Can someone please elaborate on the difference betwen a high-end satellite system (such as the one produced by Cambridge Sound works) and that of a system with a high-end subwoofer? I am looking very much to increase the bass output of my system, and am looking as well to upgrade my "rear" channel speakers (as I have been a loving advocate of Pro-Logic sound for 2 years now). Currently I have: Adcom GFA-555 power amp Denon AVC-700 pro-logic integrated amplifier (used as pre-amp with pre-out) Klipsch Forte's - front speakers Boston Accoustics A-40's - rear speakers Proton solo speaker - center channel speaker Denon DCD-1420 - cd player Nakamichi CR-2A - tape deck What I am wondering about it the separation of the rear channel sound. If in "pro-logic" mode, will a satellite system still be able to reproduce bass for the whole system (as I have found with older discs, information is often not progammed for the rear, with newer discs, some parts are silent)? Basically, would the above system (in need of better rear channel speakers, I am a *big* listener of music - I listen about 4 hours a day, as compared to using my hifi vcr/tv 30 minutes a day) benefit more from a stand alone subwoofer (running around $500-$600 for a "cheap" subsystem was the best i've been able to find) or from a high-end satellitle system (such as Cambridge Sound Works, Boston Accoustics or even [no flames, please] Bose AM-5's? -- ___________________________________/V\ofo______________________________________ "Hey!
