Speaking to the placement issue, how do you deal with the fact that bass and low mids in the modal region are coming from mains? I assume you suggest symmetrical placement for the mains, and probably you place them where they work best in the range above the modal region. Wouldn't this be less than ideal for bass and lower mids?

I know it's a loaded question and that there are trade-offs to consider in every decision. But you must agree that since the mains carry so much bass, their placement and the perfomance that results is is an important aspect, maybe even more so than the subs. In your proposed configuration, the most troublesome room modes for most people will fall in frequency ranges covered by the mains, not the subs. Would you place midbass cabinets randomly around the room, same as you suggest for subs?
