I'd like to know why exciting all the room modes is critical, and why it's considered more important than integrating with the mains, in particular. Is this just a taste preference, or is there something too it.

And is corner placement always preferable in every room no matter the size/shape?
Although my sub is located in a corner, its at the opposite end of the room to where my mains are located. That postion was found by putting the sub where my seating psotion was and crawlign around like an angry dog until I found the spot where the bass seemed the loudest. This room is 12'x16' with a 7ft drop ceiling, and burber carpet.

Now in my other house, the best bass response I achieved was smack dam in the middle of the short wall againsgt the wall. My speakers flanked the sub on either side. This room (family room) was open to the kitchen however. I can't help but think that room shape and size plays a huge roll into where the sub should go.
