Better ....... or Just Different

[Phelonious Ponk]

Tim,

Can you put a number in this frequency (and may be an attenuation factor in dB) or is this just a demonstration of subjectivity?

I can't, personally, though I'm sure there are numbers out there and I'll bet it happens much higher than most suspect. Subjectively speaking.

Gave up bass he didn't need (because he added the subs) to optimize imaging. Perfect. Expensive, but perfect.

I thought all serious audiophiles did that these days? It's not just a question of "giving up bass he didn't need"; without at least one sub supplementing even "full-range" mains you will have at least one significant null in the sub-200 Hz region unless your room is huge. And it's a rare room where the speaker placement for best imaging will match that for best bass response.
