Also, since most movies and music don't contain notes that low, I am not sure of the point.

The most important info on a sub to me is how well it produces the range found in most soundtracks (probably 20 - 40 hz). I want a sub that produces these frequencies with power and low distortion. If a sub that can do this can also hit 10hz, then that is a bonus. I just see many people concentrating too much on just how low a sub can go, and not apparently caring about the rest.

I have two subs in my theater - Paradigm Servo 15 and a Seismic 12. I have no idea exactly how low they can go, but I do know they sound amazing when watching movies or listening to music - and that is what is important to me. I am sure there are subs out there that can go lower, but that doesn't mean they are better subs (though they certainly could be).

Excellent post !
