I'm intrigued by the potential benefits of a 2.2 system, and I am keen to hear from those who are running a two-satellite, two-subwoofer system.
Do post some pictures, I've only seen quite bad ones of such a setup!
Linkwitz Orions w/Thor subs are 2.2, as are the Plutos w/their subs. Obviously the bigger, fancier full-range speakers have sub-sized woofers so are more an integrated 2.2.
Plenty of people with home theater set-ups use dual subwoofers, albeit in bigger rooms. Apparently there are benefits in terms of balancing room harmonics etc, but the general rule seems to be one very good sub is better than two 'alright' subs. Obviously low bass is usually omnidirectional, but I know some peope still find if they have a relatively high crossover on their sub (due to the extension of their main speakers... or lack of rather) that directionality comes into it a bit. I know Linkwitz uses dual subs for the increased output.
