subwoofer

Subwoofer
A subwoofer (or sub) is a woofer, or a complete loudspeaker, which is dedicated to the reproduction of low-pitched audio frequencies known as bass. The typical frequency range for a subwoofer is about 20–60 Hz for consumer products, below 100 Hz for professional live sound, and below 80 Hz in THX-approved systems. Subwoofers are intended to augment the low frequency range of loudspeakers covering higher frequency bands.

    Question I own an older Sony AVR with built-in rear speakers

    Hello, I own an older Sony AVR with built-in rear speakers. Although I'm a novice, I've come to understand that it might be a good idea to invest in a center speaker, front left and right speakers, and a subwoofer. Does this seem like a reasonable plan?
