But is comb filtering really going to be an issue with bass arrays? The problem of comb filtering becomes a problem when the separation becomes comparable to the frequencies reproduced.

At 80Hz, the wavelength is 4.25m and a subwoofer is expected to be fed with frequencies well below 100Hz.

I remember reading a Harman Kardon paper on subwoofer positioning. The bottom line result was that the more subwoofers you add in a room, the better overall result you get. It then becomes an issue of correct placement in order to get the best out of the least number of units.
