Please note I am using stereo subwoofers. I agree regarding localizing
low freq. sounds, though the lower you crossover, and the steeper the
rate, the less directionalization is an issue (I use about 65hz,
24dB/octave)
If you want a full range speaker, I suggest the B&W 801. I owned a
pair for years. The 801 matrix series 2 have a -6 dB point at 17.5hz
using their eq circuit. Their low freq. reproduction has very low
distortion.
Not sure how low you want to go.
The B&W Nautilus 801 is the latest incarnation (-6dB @ 23hz & 30khz).
