I thought it would be subtle, but it isn't.
The difference is not only very audible, you can also feel it.
For surround, I let my processor cross over at 40 Hz for the fronts, and 60 Hz for the centre and rears.
40 Hz is the lowest setting in my Marantz.
I still wonder what took me so long to add the subs, because also here, it makes a huge difference. Those lowest 5-10 Hz really are important.
Overall, those 8K were one of my better audio investments!
Hope this helps,
Bart

Thanks Bart. This is very helpful. I am finishing up my HT/Music room, and once completed, the first thing to add are REL subs
