Subwoofer positioning is as critical to achieving good integration as positioning the owner's Maggies. Some folks like deep bass. The only way I'm aware that low bass (bottom octave) can be achieved in a Magneplanar based system is through the addition of a well positioned sub that integrates well with room and speakers.
My 3.7i system utilizes a front firing 15" sub (Hsu Reseach) positioned between my Maggies. It integrates well in a large, lively listening room (22x22x20, vaulted ceiling). My sub integrates well; in this size room configuration the system wouldn't be optimal without it. I'd welcome demoing this set-up for any verifiable Planar Asylum board regular living in the D/FW area. Note: This photo is over a year old, but not much has changed. My user profile should be up to date.
