Dear @lewinskih01 : First than all you ask to a man that's a seller always. That person not even has in his system that four subs array but already making advise about and telling stupid things like that : " that's exactly how it works ", and this with out first hand experiences in his room/system. I don't care that he is a tube manufacturer because this at the end means almost nothing on what we are talking here. Audio kinesis is a seller too.
Of the people that I know is not a seller and has first hand experiences with more than two subs is noble 100 and he has no interest to sell you or at any one nothing but only shares his first hand experiences.
Btw, that tube manufacturer a few months ago posted in a hot discusion with me in the analog forum that he did not needs subs in his system because he has a very good system response down to 20hz with passive speakers. Obviously he has no idea about and even today he does not knows what's talking on this specific low bass/subs management and he will know when he finally has first hand experinences at his place, not before.
Measurements always can help but if I was you or @mitch2 I must ask my self:
with the two subs I have and at my seat position have I good low bass perception: tigth, full, no resonances, no overhang and pristine definition on that range and great midrange/highrange performance?
if the answer is yes then we have to add nothing, two subs are more than enough and if yes then that means that the subs location is just rigth. Will improves in remarkable way adding two subs for a way better quality performance at my seat position?, maybe you even can't say was a true up-grade. With low bass your ears will know all about if you know how low bass performs in a live event seated at near field position. If we don't have this kind of experiences then we need ( a must to ) to live that experiences before any move /action regarding low bass/subs. It's up to each one of us.
If you need more than a one listening seat position the a third or four subs could be better but even with 2 subs maybe you can ( ? ) do better moving a little your subs today locations, not drastically, only little movements with. Additional you always can use a parametric eq. for those subs and all these before adding two more subs.
At the end the " move/action " we make belongs to each one of us.
I like the Harman white papers because are an abstract work/research/modeling that try to sell nothing only sharing first rate information about.
Here two links that can help all of us:

@noble100 , I already " finished " my tests on that low bass stereo/mono recorded or not and the response on what we are listening. I will post about in the other thread following our dialogue.
