Sorry, are you living in a parallel universe where the laws of physics
are different?

Below a certain point, low frequencies are omni-directional. End of story.

Pat's "brief history" was very helpful and confirmed my "belief".

Below a certain point, low frequencies are omni-directional. End of story.

That's a different argument completely. Sure, >1 sub might get a better
result, but it's nothing to do with stereo imaging. Using two subs
doesn't mean you have "stereo subs".

He may well do; I didn't suggest otherwise. Again, nothing to do with
stereo.

I suggest you do take the time to construct a well-considered response.
You sound like you're talking crap most of the time, so some rationale
to back it up would be helpful. If only so we can put you right.
