I like using subwoofers with headphone music. Over time though, I've gotten used to the clever substitute that headphones do provide.

Of course, headphones do not feel exactly like loudspeaker listening does. But a pair of purring headphones resting against my skull still reminds me of the "viscerality" of the live or reproduced musical experience, in a way.

True, the vibes are highly localized. But they are there nonetheless.

  my long time friend and fellow inmate TAFKAsteve has lent me a pair of Monolith 1060 planar magnetic phones which pack a wallop that rivals the deep bass os speakers and they have a natural/neutral, wide open sound mut not the high end extension of its more costly brethren.
  
  i could live without the added physicality of the sub as a result.

    Check out my thread about dual mono battery powered balanced amp for $100
    
    Using that combo with the 1060s and man what a combo
    
    I have a sub lying around unused and dont see the need to hook it up with the 1060s

      For fun, I put on headphones and sitting next to the subs playing by themselves. Makes a difference.

        I'm recently separated.... I was listening to headphones exclusively for the past 6 months... I can't really complain because it's a pair of Grado RS2e driven by a Rupert Neve RNHP amp ... sounds great.
        
        I finally have my gear set back up but still use the phones often

        IMHO every separation is good eventually. So congrats.
        
        Glad you are digging that amp. I almost bought it but never did. It sure seemed solid though.
