FULLRANGE+LFE vs SATs+ SUBs(ALL CHANNEL BASS & LFE)?

[o0O Bill O0o]

This thread catches the tip of the iceberg.

BUT what I want to know is what are the set-ups out there for solutions to modern full range descrete channels OTHER than using a single sub with multiple sats?

Examples that I can think of are:

Each channel speaker level run to a sub w/ a high pass XO to a less bass capable ( we'll define that as a Satellite or Sat) then a separate sub or subs to run LFE.

Each channel line level run to each sub from the pre outs using the low pass XO inside the sub. and Sats run speaker as Large ( if bass weak, w/ an inline highpass XO) then a separate sub or subs to run LFE.

I'm not satisfied with the solution to Bass Manage all frequencies below the Bass managament's XO point. So 5-7 Sats and 4 subs, and the 4 subs getting all channel low bass AND the LFE channel versus LARGE on all channels for full range including deep bass and Subs for LFE.

This might be a fine solution, but really is it better than FULL RANGE or LARGE speakers and dedicated LFE channel?

note: don't limit to a single sub, you can use as many as necessary.
