Agree 100%. They add an 'air' to the reproduced acoustics of, especially, large concert halls which is unobtrusive but significant in the illusion which we try to create with our wooden boxes and paper cones...In reality I think there is more than you might think to the low
Move a Lot of Air - GENTLY
A 2245H showed up . Very impressive driver. Not bad price either, made me do some measurements - it's cruel, but I'm afraid I don't have the physical space for a B460 clone currently. Need a new house.
Of course, the B380 is a nice, 15" option... some nice clone builds around. https://www.audioheritage.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?35324-JBL-B380-Clones
Could this be tuned to go lower? ( I obviously don't know a lot about box tuning...)

The Little Brother to the JBL B460 is the B380, which measures exactly the same as the B-460 according to Greg Timbers.
The B380 simply will not play as loud at the B460 Building two B380's with JBL 2235's might be more achievable That said the only thing holding me back on either is the space!

To add another A-men to the discussion.
While at the Florida Audio Expo last weekend I visited a friend that has by far the best sounding system I have ever experienced. There are two of the largest J&L subs in the back of the room and two more in each front corner.. The subs are DSP'd and you are not aware of them being present. Nothing in the experience says sub-woofer or sub-bass; you are only aware of an uncanny sense of space.
None of that: The performers are in the room with you experience It's way more transportative a willing suspension of disbelief that takes you to the recording venue at a different place and time. That said, Charles only listens to acoustic sets, I doubt if he owns a single pop recording!
MOVE a whole lot of air gently!
