...since I've been in a EE lab. Like the Indigo Girls once sang "Got my paper, and I was free."
As for your other question, I can't speak for "some" loudspeaker designers (actually I can't speak for any), but I think I addressed your question in my initial post - the majority of variables that significantly impact your sub-bass experience are dictated by elements outside of the speaker desginer's control. One bass response does not fit all, and is exactly why (IMHO) Richard Vandersteen integrates an 11-band EQ into the powered subs in the Quatro, 5A and 7 series speakers. Plus, there are a lot of crappy subs out there. Not sure that I can tell you much more that isn't obvious.
Sub integration ain't easy. No one said it was. If it's done right, it's spectacular. Maybe I'm an idiot and have no idea what I'm talking about, but my system sounds amazing to me and, quite frankly, that's really all that matters.
Also, it would be helpful if you register here at AA.
