no, but its a heck of a lot less directional than, say other frequencies. bob, isn't "hi fi effect" a bit extreme?
granted we have a tradeoff today between smaller rooms without bigs and full range audiophile speakers not a great choice for the extremes of tracking conditions - but this solution is not exatly a horrible compromise when you consider today's (physical and financial) constraints, no?
regardless you are correct, in my experience some sub systems are actually just less "mushy" than the next.
but within the whole context of close and midrange monitors, isn't it better to have something to kick in the chain and hear what's down there?
still saving up for my legacy helix - what alternatives would you recommend?

i agree, and i don't love the downward firing adam sub - i would rather have the (somewhat) directional 7071 type. i hate switching though. barefoot does has the downward/upward firing sub, although when i heard this a/b'd from the sweet spot of a pair of augsbergers and i'd have to say the bass was pretty even. but i've never done a mix and it wasn't my room.
a bit OT but i'd love to hear someone who made the switch from s3a + sub to barefoot mm's
