Subwoofer guys - House curve or flat?


So there's a bit of debate about whether a "house curve" should be used instead of EQing your sub for a perfectly flat response. My thoughts are adding a house curve could possibly muddy up the midrange and I like it how I have set up now (perfectly flat) Is this true? Anyone do any experimenting?

Here's a lot of information from the home theater guys on why you should "shelf" response.

Why roll it off on subsonic frequencies? Is there any reason besides saving sub amp power? The way I look at it is if it's on the recording, it should be reproduced. I figure it's like the vinyl argument, even if you can't hear it, you call feel it.
