Subwoofer advice sought

I don't often see 4-6 double bass players scattered throughout the venue to immerse you in their bass.

If you've ever been to a rock concert or especially an EDM show, the bass travels throughout the venue and you feel it as much as hear it.  That's one of the great things about having multiple subs is that it feels like live music.  I don't recall ever hearing the bass only coming from the direction of the stage at a live concert.  Of course it's been a while since I've been to a show, perhaps my memory is playing tricks on me.

@three_easy_payments If you're ever in the area and we don't have to worry about killing each other by sitting in the same room I'd be happy to let you listen. My system is in my living room. It's not ideal, but it works. 

@three_easy_payments We're in total agreement that there's more than one way to get good bass and that different people will enjoy different things.  I've enjoyed good bass in my system with no subwoofers.  I have three other systems that all have one subwoofer.  One of the best systems I've heard had two subwoofers.

Using four subwoofers, I don't feel like the bass is enveloping in a surround sound way.  The soundstage is still very well defined, perhaps even better defined.  The performers are there in front of me, including the bass player.  If I'm listening to Yes for example, I can tell exactly where Chris Squire's bass is coming from.  It's not in surround sound, it's coming from a specific spot on the stage in front of me.  The sound fills my room though in a way that is the closest thing I've felt to live music in my system.  And yes, I enjoy it very much.

I'm not sure my words are adequate to describe the distinction between the surround type "3-D" listening experience you seem to think is created and what I experience.  Have you experienced a system with multiple subwoofers?
