RE: Stereo Sub-Woofers

Jerry were you there the time a guy brought a giant sub to the DYI speaker show in Dayton Ohio?...it was in one corner of a big room.He switched it on and it started to play. The funny thing I think is that there was not a hint of directionality to the sound coming out of the giant sub. I shut my eyes and without a visual cue there was no way i could determine where in the room the bass was coming from.And it was purposely way off center.

If you feel a sub is directional, then either the sub is playing frequencies that are high enough to be directional(not uncommon with consumer grade 3-piece systems) OR your eyes are fooling you and you think you are hearing the sub frequencies coming from one side or another of the room because of the visual cue for the sub location.
