-
- Just the other day I was pondering whether to use NORMAL or WIDE mode with
- my setup. I have the Definitive C1 and Infinity RS4001 (8" woofers) as my
- mains, and I don't have a subwoofer.
-
- So I played back a bunch of blow-up scenes from T2 and Lethal Weapon 3.
- What I found was that the bass in NORMAL mode was much more dramatic and
- fuller than in the WIDE mode (as far as blow-ups are concerned).
-
- Even though the Infinities are not as highly rated compared to the Defs, I
- guess having bigger woofers and stereo bass outputs do help.
