The Maggie woofer. Wendell says he's found that adding them to the bigger Maggies in large rooms bolsters the midbass. The problem, as he explains it, is that they can only design the speaker to have flat bass response in an average sized room. (Larger rooms have weaker but smoother bass than smaller ones, because in the small ones, the bass is reinforced by room modes.) Adding a couple of DWM's increases the woofer area and that bolsters the midbass.
It's generally agreed that midbass is more important to subjective quality than deep bass, and that it's a problem area with most speakers. This is largely because of proximity effects -- midbass frequencies are such that you start to get comb filter cancellation with reflections from proximate surfaces, the so-called Allison Effect.
The DWM is a woofer rather than a subwoofer, so it can't extend bass response lower, but Barry is already covered for deep bass with his sub. The DWM would bolster the midbass response. Ideally, with some combination of reinforcement, positioning, treatment, and mild EQ, you'd be able to reduce or eliminate those suckouts.
