Frequency Range - Bookshelf Speakers


For a 2-channel stereo system, which consists of a pair of bookshelf speakers and a powered subwoofer, what difference does it make if the bookshelf speakers go down to 70Hz vs. 30Hz (or anything else in between)?

Vinyladdict said "If I'm sending everything below 60 or 80hz to ONE sub (essentially mono'ing below 60 or 80hz... probably 80) should I have no problems with "woofer pumping" and subsonics?"

Did eliminating the subwoofer affect/help this problem? Do you still have rumble or subsonics without the sub? Could this be another reason not to use a sub? To eliminate modal response problems and inherent vinyl "noise" (subsonics and rumble).
