The important lesson is that bass needs to be focused on the seating position and can have negative interaction with the main speakers that can be phase corrected. This is a critical experiment that can yield a huge difference and it's free!!
Try running a 60hz tone through the set up. Sit where you sit and listen to the timber of the bass. Then walk around the room. It will at some point become a droning mess, at other points it will almost vanish.Very true. It was eye opening to me when I actually heard cancellations occur as I walked around the room when setting up twin subwoofers. I found that not only location of subs and the location of the sitting position was important but using the phase adjustments made enormous differences. At 60 hz I can flip one switch on one of the subwoofers 180 degrees out of phase and create a null where you can't hear anything. Dead sound occurring at 60hz in my listening position. Move my head 3 feet forward out of the null and bingo there's the sound again. It also has a big impact on the lower 30hz region. Flipping the switch on the phase was like turning on and off the light. Huge differences in timber and output were achieved.
