Sub Woofer

Is there a home cinema system that can switch to 'stereo' on 2 speakers without the sub-woofer for music?

I have had a 5.1 home cinema system in a box before but found that (a) the sub-woofer was too 'boomy' even when turned down; and (b) the sub was too over bearing if I wanted to listen to music. I wonder if there is a system or set-up that doesn't use, or need a sub and allows the user to switch to 2 front speakers for listening to music?

I personally like the Denon brand although many will have the options needed to help you out. A good brand of speaker would be DCM. Here are some things to look for that should help you out if they are available on your system.

First, there should be a crossover setting that determines what frequency range is sent to the subwoofer. Many companies will set this high to force extra bass. It is how many people decide on which system to purchase and makes up for lower quality speakers that have a very limited range.

Second, you are looking for a setting that gives you a plus or minus on the db to each speaker. This allows you to personally contour your speakers to your room. If one speaker has to sit further away then you boost it or if another happens to be right over your shoulder you might reduce the output.

Unfortunately, this is a common problem with Home Theater in a Box (HTIB) systems. Not all but many, including big name brands, are putting poor responding speakers with less intelligent receivers. There is a market for them, I owned some at one time. If you find yourself spending more money on a HTIB system then you should consider entry level separate components for a similar price.

As an example, I can give my customers an excellent alternative for $900 that will sound better and last longer than HTIB systems.
