<br>This article is correct in that a sub is an important element in any home theater. In fact, anyone that does not consider investing into a good sub is dramatically reducing much of the audio element in any movie production. However, saying one's sub will not be as loud or boomy as in a real theater is not entirely correct. We use the JBL Synthesis system in our home theaters. True, these are a bit pricey. However, these systems allow one to control many of the audio elements of their sound system. For instance, they can EQ the frequency response to actually produce sub sonic levels (which would be a waste). None the less, it will allow them to go as low as they dare. Another element in producing the lows is the size of the subs cones and how many subs are used. Then, there's time alignment of all the speakers in a room which will allow individuals to increase sound pressure levels. This is when you begin to "feel" the sound without the use of those "rumble" packs that go under chairs. The sound pressures will give you the real effect of the sound and this doesn't have to be at a volume level that rivals a 757 during takeoff. Even lower decibel levels can easily give you a rumbling effect when time alignment has been properly achieved. Truth is, there are a lot of "so called" technical stores and home theater stores that are not real "cinema" level companies. For a true home theater experience and to get the most out of any room for home theaters, one needs to visit a real home theater company. They should have a showroom with, not a wide screen TV and surround sound, but a real room that has the look, feel, and sound of a true cinema. If they can't reproduce this in their showroom, what makes one think they can do it in their home. None the less, your article was very informative. Again, you do well in helping others to see the importance of using "subs" in their home theater. <br><br>
