kink56,
The real strength of a 4-sub distributed bass array system is with musical content. There are 4 subs with 10" drivers strategically positioned around the room, driven by an abundance of power with the sole responsibility of reproducing bass frequencies between 20 Hz and whatever the crossover frequency is set at.
The result is very fast bass which is very smooth, detailed and agile. There's also the added benefit of very good bass dynamics due to the ample power reserves.
Prior to using the AK Debra dba system, I was unable to seamlessly integrate very good deep bass response with my fast Magnepan 2.7QR dipole panels with either a single or dual subs. I perceived that bass as a bit lagging and disconnected. I believe the nature of the bass produced by good dba systems will allow them to be seamlessly integrated with virtually any pair of main speakers.
The fact that 4-sub dba systems are also excellent for ht use is just icing on the cake.
