I have no strong opinion about the limits of LF audibility. I'll need to break out the test disc again but I know I can't hear a 20 Hz. sinewave on the Velodyne. I wish I would have thought to try the other LF tracks in the 20's to see what how low I can reasonably hear. Perhaps later today now that its come up. Of course that doesn't mean that the subaudible stuff has nothing to add to the picture.

Good point about backwave cancelation with dipoles. I had forgotten about that. You mentioned previously about a passive bass array. Since I have an untasked set of 1.5's to play with perhaps I could try a temporary mounting at the 1/3 room length points. The idea would be to use the side walls to be an extension of the baffle on one side of each speaker. Keep the current LF crossover point and equalize the 1.5's only and see what that's like. I can't be sure what to expect from that or even if it's a good idea or not. Just something to ponder while I'm thinking about possibilties. I'm pretty sure that I want to use a stereo sub arrangement when the time comes. Hemholtz's GR's should be significantly better than my current set up but I'll never really know till I try it. Looking at the cabinet dimensions it comes in at 13" x 23.5" which is pretty easy to work with. Hmmm... that's attractive. Could always start with one and go from there. If I can only get into it without making myself half nuts in the process. There does seem to be a point where I question my sanity for obsessing over this stuff.
