Funny you mention that. I think servo control would be impossible with
downfiring woofers, but I don't know. I recommended servo controlled
subs at the beginning of the thread, because I've always seen them in
the same sentence with 'musical sub'. 

Yup, feedback control. Comparison between what the signal's doing and
what the woofer's doing, plus correction 'at the speed of light'. Like
a smart sub. I'm now thinking, however, it's wiser to use cone/surround
materials to strive for fast bass, rather than artificial intelligence.
The old timers had it all figured out with paper cones. That would
probably leave me needing a true sub to play <40Hz, at which point you
guys would all be completely right about the uselessness of a binaural
setup. My only argument all along has been that nobody's speakers play
that low usefully, or if they do you're not worried about WAF in the
first place... I hope there's no hard feelings.
