I don't agree with this "truism" about bass having no directionality. It's simply more difficult to localize bass frequencies, but given that you hear bass with your whole body I think you can perceive where different bass sounds are coming from. In a complex system with many speakers I think it works pretty well to use multiple subs. This is especially true in a listening environment such as a club where the audience is free to circulate. Also be aware that in a specialized setup the crossover frequency could be tweaked to suit the combination of speakers and architecture. -- ______________________________________________________________ Richard Zvonar, PhD (818) 788-2202 http://www.zvonar.com http://salamandersongs.com http://ill-wind.com
