   Beats the smell of the "directional 20Hz" myth I guess. IF you define a sub   
   woofer properly (rather than simply calling any normal woofer a sub woofer)   
   then the sub 50Hz bass region is not going to be too bothered by   
   directionality in any normal room.   
      
   Of course IF you consider anything below 1kHz as "sub woofer" material (like   
   some advertising copy writers do) then you definitely WOULD have a problem.
