I'm sorry that you haven't gotten more of a response. It's likely that no one is confident in an answer.
I haven't heard any of the subs you are looking into, but I will say that the Axiom 500 is fast earning a great reputation among many who have listened or blind-tested.
Regarding your specific question, my
personal, unfounded feelings are that no sub is harder to place than another. I believe that the long wavelengths of the subs' output combined with the non-directional characteristics make it unlikely that some subs are harder to place than others. That doeasn't mean that I don't believe subs benefit from fine-positioning; it just means that I don't think they are different from each other in placement requirements.
I'm the first to admit that my expertise in this field is completely, umm, non-expert, and there are others here that know far more than me on the subject. I just thought I would throw my two cents in to let you know that you're not being ignored!
Welcome to the forum, by the way!
