After spending lots of time finding a successful integration of Two large Digital Subs into my room and arriving at a 7.2 system.......I then went backwards and forwards between a 7.0 and 7.2 system

Listening (video off) to a few challenging movie clips, I reasonably quickly arrived at the conclusion that I preferred the In Room Performance offered by the 7.0 system. I tried multiple cross-over points

When using 5.1 Music DVD-A's discs, and again comparing 7.0 versus 7.2, I found that the difference with Music was even more pronounced...........resulting in a STRONG personal preference for 7.0

Summary: I could probably live with a 7.2 system for Movies, but would prefer a 7.0 system........For Music, I don't think I could have lived with the 7.2 system........7.0 sounded far more natural and musical to my ears

All of which has led me to the conclusion (and there's lot of supporting evidence out there) that Bass IS Directional............We may not necessarily HEAR all those Low Frequencies coming from a particular location.............but our Senses can FEEL the Energy created, as coming from a particular location.........

Having spent the time necessary to get the Two Subs successfully integrated, I feel I can say that if I ever wanted to give myself a reason to commit suicide, I would try and integrate Four Subs........

YMMV.........
