I can not tell a lie. I originally got a sub because I wanted "honkin'" bass. Being able to hear the 32Hz Organ note in Thus Spake Zarathustra was and is cool. Now with 2 serious subs and the woofer box that came with my Spectra's I've got all the bass I ever wanted. The woofer cabinet is only in use with surround material because it's connected to my surround speakers. With 2 channel material two asymmetrically placed subs are what the doctor ordered. I'm a happy camper.
