We should define some borders here; LF, when you have an UBH, should be from  around 100 hz down to 30 hz,  where the last fundamental tone of an instrument is played.  ULF should be under 25-20hz.

I would say that a driver playing 25-30 hz should not go over 100 hz, as tone becomes very important there. 

Most of us are using some sort of cabinet for the LF range.  Romy was using the Scanspeak up to 75 hz crossed to his UBH,  Haralanov is using those wonderful 23" woofers on an infinite bafle, and Jessie is using the McCauley 18" woofer on some sort of concrete coffin!

Romy is now using midbass horns to cover this LF range,  but he needed to change his house in order to achieve this; Talk about an upgrade, a MB horn with swimming pool inlcuded!!

Haralanov solution looks wonderful,  but given the sheer size of his Infinite Bafle and the construction planned, would it not be better to make a Big horn instead?  Of course he uses an open bafle midrange and is not into horns, so for him this is the right solution,  but If we do use horns...

I could be wrong as usual, the law of diminishing returns for going from 6 woofers to 8 woofers for a tower that you cannot listen,  that starts at 20 hz and under, it might be getting to the that point!  Of course if vibration is needed the more area the better,  but how much? 

Now adding more woofers in the LF range is good until it gets so big and complicated, that adding a time aligned Mid bass horn would actually be simpler!

I think  would go for the Horn most of the times!
