If the issue is merely to recreate a better sense of the live performance….
It might be not “recreate a better sense of the live performance” but rather to be able to administer in my own and deliberate way some “listening help”. I would like to have a feeling that listening event has started without music being played. You know that effect when conductor raises his hands before staring, the entire symphony hall in absolute silence and it feel almost like sound pressure went to negative numbers. I think it has a lot to do with “freedom” of LF. That sense of feeling that something inevitable will happen I think is encoded with ULF. You have that feeling a few minutes before a summer sunder storm hit the spot where you stay.

I use to call my old ULF channel “ULF stimulator” and I felt that Sound being dump in a room that is “ULF stimulated” do sound more affective. I uselessly use Sound of applauses. I hear a lot of life recordings and I hear a lot of applauses. The sound people who do recordings and cut off applauses from live recording are idiots in my view but this is a whole different subject. I can say LOT about the sound of a given audio installation by the way how a playback plays applauses. So, if you play applauses with ULF injection and with it they will be VERY much different sounds and very different feeling from the playback efforts.
I know exactly what I would like to do with my ULF, I do not know for now HOW to make my ULF in order it to do what I want with room biasing, to add the very bottom mass to my auditable bass and at the same time do not crap out all over my midbass…

As for the use of the multi-cell, I understand why you did not go for it much better now. It is interesting to note that aesthetic considerations can sometimes preempt something that was nonetheless deemed beneficial in other respects. Life, even our pursuit of perfection in our audio systems, has to be a balancing of priorities after all..

If I have a dedicated listening room then I would go for it with no questions. However, since my Macondo are parts of my normal leaving environment I would like them if not to be pretty but at least do not disturb me visually. When I first attached the new assembled multi-sells in place of my current Fundamental Channels (I did it with a lot of scotch tape) I did not like the look and feel of Macondo. The whole columns-style of drivers assembling was breaking up and that horizontal array of multi-sells felt like an overly industrial entry from a different design.
