    Is it really that hard? The wavelengths are pretty long and our ears are not all that sensitive to differences at woofer frequencies. I should think there wouldn't be much of a problem at all. If...

    As I said offhandedly in some post above (or was it another thread?), a JBL 2404h. I probably don't really need it as I don't hear the really high frequencies that well, but I want it anyway.

    I wouldn't exactly say the E145 is capable of ultra lows - but that depends on what you consider ultra low. My view is that 20-25 Hz comes under the heading of ultra low.
