Somewhat further OT here:
NHT's lifestyle "woofer" system is being closed out at Audio Advisor (I get their mailers) @ $300 per. This isn't really a "subwoofer", but it puts two 10" drivers in a very slim sealed box (app 6" deep) with IIRC a 200 watt amplifier. Max extension is something like 38hz @ unspecified spl/unspecified THD.
Observation: Since the narrow cabinet puts the front of the woofer 6" from the wall, cancellation effects should be minimal.
Observation 2: Max excursion of the drivers is unspecified, but can (presumably) be limited by employing multiple units in the room.
Question: If you scatter 4 - 6 of these units in your room ($1200 to $1800) how do you suppose performance would compare with conventional subs in the price range?
I'm not in the market, but the question crossed my mind and I wonder what you guys think.
