IMO the last octave can make a big difference in some action movies, in other movies there is no difference. When I went from my Paradigm PDR10 to my Tempest sonosub there where a number of movies where the sound track almost completely changed with the addition of authority in the last octave.

For most music sub 30hz is never seen, but there are quite a few tracks from certain genres that have the content.

The +/- rating from manufactures is also mostly useless. Most take that measurement at below 80dB. Take it again at 100dB and there is no way a Paradigm PW2200 will rate to 18hz.

Given the price tag there are quite a few options that will really outshine a RSW10 in a mainly hometheater setup. The RSW line drops off very fast below 30hz.
