Whooaaaaa, slow down everybody! I've built my goals in trying to build a good system which reproduces low frequencies without going overboard. It's very simple. As an organist, I find it imperative. First of all, what about the 1812 overture (field cannon - yeah I know, 8 Hz; only the best subs can reproduce - to a limited extent), all organ music, synthesized music, and field drums (listen to "In the Hall of the Mountain King...and many more)? In order to get at least SOME of the low notes reproduced from such recordings you need a subwoofer or super full range speaker.
EKG, I have the same Virgil Fox recording on LP and CD - unfortunately the recording does not contain a lot of fundamental notes well reproduced. There is a new recording of the organ on the Dorian label called "Magic," which is great compared to the older recording. I highly recommend it - lots of LOW frequencies with those beautiful 64 footers that you can WALK IN! (actually, I don't think my system comes close to reproducing them, but great on the 32 foot pipes).
I have a REL sub, which in my room gets me flat down to about 19 Hz, and many recordings I have contain information to play on the sub. SO...bottom line, if you listen to chamber music, jazz, and some others - to include most movies (movie makers put most low notes at about 40Hz because the majority of people don't have true full range systems, and you get much more "bang" at 40 Hz than at 20), a decent speaker going to 40 Hz should be sufficient. But also, to second the statement of a previous poster, a good low frequency system does reproduce ambient "hall" sounds which gives you a more accurate sense of "being there."
I really think the best systems possible for all these reasons combine multiple 12 or 15 inch drivers, but who as the space...
Enjoy!
