Yes, it almost seems to "go against reason"; but who cares? I remember playing with the ML-2 operating points, and I also got the best sound overall - including LF - when I dropped the gain and used the 16 Ohm taps "downhill" into the load, and certainly I got the best "ambiance" this way, including LF. Conversely, cranking the gain and/or using the 8 Ohm taps made the bass "faster" and correspondingly harder. At the time, I may have developed a theory as to why this was so; but if I did, I've since forgotten it. Anyway, now that you have all your woofers firing you can optimize your operating points for your present set-up, and if you're lucky, you will get by with just dialing in the speaker and listening locations. As for the total quantity of LF, that looks like a large room, and maybe the floors are raised, so it could simply require a lot driver area/volume to move enough air in there?
