How important is bass to you?

Yes, too much bass can be even worse than too little, unless you like tremors and earthquakes.
As for 'to sub or not to sub', I am open to the debate. In any case, two subs please.

Four are even better.

Two high, Two low.

Yes, too much bass would be bad. That's why you tune your subwoofer frequency and volume. I never intended to suggest that the bass should be in excess of a natural sound.

Just to clarify I meant this for 2 channel audio.
The high and low subs on each side cancel each other's waves out leaving pure bass tones.
I am living this experience.

Not applicable I would think for multi channel, home theater and those looking for boom, boom, boom on S Spielberg or G Lucas films.
Can't say though as I have two rooms set up but alas no HT setup. I go to the movie theater instead. Gets me out :^)

Cheers

OK, I'll re-phrase - at least two subs, please.
