Hi,

I have a 36-square-meter living room.

I currently own 2 Era 300s. To me, they lack bass punch. Initially, I wanted to return them, but I missed the return window, so I bought a Sub Mini to address the bass issue.

 

The sound is good, but unfortunately, I don’t like how the Sub Mini looks in my living room. The optimal placement for the sub makes it very visible, and it looks like a small trash can to me (and to my wife).

 

I’m considering returning the Sub Mini and selling the 300s to get a pair of Fives, which, based on what I’ve read, don’t need a subwoofer to deliver good bass and punchy sound.

 

Here’s my question: Will a pair of Fives without a sub sound as good as or better than a pair of 300s for stereo music? I don’t listen to Atmos music.

Will the difference be noticeable?

 

If you could rate the sound quality of a pair of 300s at 100%, how much would you rate the Fives?

 

Thanks!

Sound quality and bass performance are very personal. You could just order the Fives and send them back if you don’t like them. Or buy a Sub 4, that that looks less like a trash can.
