Hi, Too long, never. You gave me some ideas. All probably bad as my system is just fine now. A pair of Martin Logan Vista electrostatics and a pair of Martin Logan powered subs. But..... I have 4 more other brand powered subs in storage. Now if I put one in each corner of the room for max room gain and the other two in the middles of the flanking walls.... If I cranked everything up at once it would probably cause serious internal gastric distress not to mention possible structural failure of the room. Then to top it off I have a pair of 7.5 cubic foot un-powered subs and a few spare amps and crossovers. Seismic overload.
Anyhow, I certainly agree on the minimum of two subs. In my case two really are enough that's why the others are in storage right now. I did at one point try 4 in various combinations of flanking, asymmetric and symmetric patterns and found that it was difficult to avoid serious peaks and nulls. With only two and some reasonable test gear you can usually make two work IMHO.
