If they're not 'exciting' the room, then they don't have all the bass that many need.
Maybe you missed the word "less".
But adequate bass output is going to vary according to individual preference. The Harman studies showed less experienced listeners prefer greater bass exageration, rather than more downward slope- I think I actually prefer the former type of bass curve having grown up listening to it. Even then I dont think I would need a sub/s with the Sointuva in my listening space, and by tenuous extension the A6B.
Actually i dont use a sub in my bedroom with 8040b, but have 2x12inch and 2x15inch in my HT/Atmos setup.
There is considerable wisdom making small speakers with great bass extension to work in the average persons space. Ascilabs looks like they have nailed it.
