A Bass Question


A 20hz wave form takes approximately 27.5 feet to flow out evenly with no time delay. My room is roughly 21 1/2 by 19 with a few cutouts for a walkin closet and a few little offsets. The speakers are along the longer wall.
Given that the room will not completely support the bottom octave, would it be better to have a speaker with less than full range? What is there a formula for figuring what wavelength will most perfectly fit the room?
Would adding subs with a high pass filter accomodate the rest and make things easier overall?
Thanks in advance for your advice and even remarks
Enjoy and happy new year

Markphd thanks for the resource, the perfect lower frequency for my roon is about 32 HZ. Now all I need to do is figure out which speakers go down to around there that I would like to hear.
Larryken, you are indeed correct, rather than add things to the room I would just rather add things to my system and have it happily cohabitate with the room in harmony. Just another way of achieving the same end.
