I havent' used my sub for years. It's an older HSU that goes down to 17hz. Just not needed for the few recordings that have significant response down there. I think the Pines of Rome is one, there are a few others. Even tocatta and fugue goes only to 40 hz or so, I believe. Not the kind of stuff I usually listen to.

If you get down to 32 hz flat you'll not be needing a sub for music. 40 hz flat is a good compromise for economics.

Now, if you're talking sound effects or movies, I'd say yes, go for the sub basement. I've also noticed what seem like subsonics in some opera recordings. Not sure they are not more of a distraction there, though.
