That is very subjective...

Arm and leg compared to what I can get in the market for similar sub? or Arm and leg compared to the price I had to pay to enjoy 18hz well built sub

Anyways...it was slow progressive journey to sound, over a period of 6 years..But when you enjoy a 2 hour movie, feeling immersed...it all seems worth it..

believe it or not, it's not mighty expensive nor complicated to enjoy 18hz well built sub.
though you might be led to believe otherwise.

Well focal dome for sure is lack in bass. You should consider to upgrade your sub

Already posted last year, only minor alteration since then.
Now only filling in the details.

anyone know where can buy small speaker stand? like those that can hold those small satellite surround speaker.

jln pasar at pudu..

only if the speakers are capable of handling 80hz (and probably one octave lower).
if the receiver can't independently set the surround channels to higher crossover point, it's probably better to set the xover point to something like 180hz-250hz.
