Why did the review index remove the preference score with a subwoofer? I feel like that preference score was important because lots of people do choose to listen with a sub whether for stereo music or home video and entertainment. A lot of speakers will get a better score due to being able to play lower without distortion, but that will be irrelevant for anyone using a subwoofer and it makes it hard to find the best speakers and or the best speakers for the money if you are in fact going to use a subwoofer. I used to like arranging the speaker in order of preference score with a sub to help myself and others find good speakers for a home theater setup. I don't personally care how accurate a speaker is below 80Hz (or sometimes even as high as 120Hz) because I have subs for that. Just a thought/suggestion. Perhaps there are flaws in my reasoning.
