Now I'm thinking that, based on the curve, that this speaker is going to sound a bit "thin". But I also assume I don't know what I'm looking at - this is a $25,000 "statement" product; can it be that it needs a sub? That doesn't seem logical to me. Will the room response fill in the rest?

Or is it that *every* speaker needs a sub to fill out the bottom octave? That no two- or three-way speaker can do the job by itself?

Thanks for any clarification.
