K+H O 300(D) owners with subs

[bleak orange]

The sub(s) takes a load off from the 0300...with a sub they sound a little more open.

Go for it

This question interests me also.
I don't have a sub myself. However, minute EQ changes at 35 Hz are instantly noticeable on my system and the mids go on for miles.

So does that mean the sub doesn't necessarily extend the bottom range in a significant way and the actual auditory experience doesn't change as much as the price tag for the sub would suggest?

No, that is not what that means.

Taking the load off the O300D amplifiers might allow it to bloom.

I love the K&H's but I still insist that they are underpowered / have too low headroom. It's a drag, because tonally and aesthetically they are THE PERFECT MONITORS, in my opinion.

I keep hoping that K&H come out with a new model with a stronger or more efficient amplifier. Or maybe some enterprising geek offers a modification service or something.

I have used the 0800 sub with my K+H 0300Ds and it's definitely worth the investment. They open up more and seem to have more 'air' if that's possible. My 0800 kept blowing fuses so I have a replacement on order. Without the sub they are incredible monitors, with it they are exceptional.

The 0300Ds are near/midfield monitors and I find that mine are capable of going way too loud where I have them positioned, about 3 feet / 1 metre from my ears. For more volume you should check out the K+H 0410s, bigger and louder versions of the 0300Ds.
