I like the Tablettes quite a bit (especially for the price), but they
definitely need a sub-woofer or two. I have found that the placement of
the sub-woofer is very important unless the cross-over allows some sort
of variable delay. The sound from the sub-woofer should be in phase with
the sattelites.

This brings up another question. If you use a common sub-woofer with a
CD player that uses one DAC, does the phase difference cause any problems?
