For HT, how important is extension south of 20 Hz?
My current subwoofer system is based upon (4)15" Adire Tumults.They are sealed.Two per cabinet in separate chambers.I use (4) QSC 1450's, bridged mono to each Tumult.They have a relative high F3 (around 38hz in a 3.0 cu. ft. enclosure).To counter ...

Subwoofer in the corner? Forget about it

Need Help Choosing A Subwoofer
What subs have you heard.If you could give a listen in person to any sub and then share your experience.I feel the only sub is a DIY.First off because you get what you want and not a sub that fits into a marketing structure.There are a ton of subs... 
I want profoundly better bass
I'm listening to a pipe organ CD through older paradigms and my DIY subwoofer.This system images like a king and with the subs calibrated with TrueRta I think you should rethink subs.IMHO.
