I'm not sure if that's actually the case, at least not with a controlled environment. I asked the question about treatments in a few other places, and most said that it wasn't necessary to achieve the 18Hz. What concerns me about above-18Hz subs is that so many DVDs and BDs seem to go so low. That thread I point you to at AVS has some films hitting 8Hz.

Can I really give people crap about buying fullscreen DVDs if I'm missing so much under 22Hz?
