Tim, you can't say that we can't talk about something again, because you don't want to. That is a major part of my point. I agree that 4 subs is optimal. You said you were out after your last thread that was pretty long. Then you post again, so I guess you are still in?? Either way, it's not big deal.
Bottom line is that I have been asking a lot of my audiophile friends if they'd use 4 subs in their systems. Many have active Vandersteen's and they said they would't be able to fit them into the room due to many domestic reasons. If you have full control over your room and feel you need to spend the extra money, that's awesome. Most don't. Simple point and hard to argue against regardless of it sounding better.
Not even really disagreeing with you too much. Only on a few points.
