Why are you against using subwoofers? I've been using subwoofers for more than 20-years and I wouldn't be without them. Reinforcing the bottom octave makes all the difference in the world in my system. In fact, I just replaced my old acoustic suspension subs with some new Rythmik servo subs and they sound awesome. I think you need to have your satellites out away from the wall for good imaging and then you need subwoofers to fill in that bottom octave. Anyway, I can't imagine my system without subwoofers to reinforce the bottom octave.

John,
I've had a Henry Kloss sealed sub for nearly 30 years, first with large Advents, then with the Dynaudio 52s. Before that I had stacked Advents and before that, Bozak 302s. My problem is space in this combo of music room, office, electronics bench, and occasional guest room.
I'm thinking that with number of people living in small homes and apartments, there must be some really good full frequency speakers that work against a boundary wall. Active speakers with DSP might work. The passive Larsen and Audio Note lines claim to work best against walls, I've not heard either of them. Some transmission line models go down unto the mid or low 20s. Audio Note is claiming 23hz and 25hz as the lows for the model E and J placed in a corner. A couple of days ago I was looking at JBL 4429s, with a 15 inch woofer. If I felt good about spending big bucks the JBL K2s are high art pieces.
Hi Myles,Funny you should mention Henry Kloss subwoofers. Those are the ones I just replaced with my new Rythmik servo subs. I had my Cambridge Soundworks subs sitting against a back wall behind my listening position so they were approximately the same distance from my ears at my front speakers.
