I am not quite sure what you mean here... here will be 2x1 or 2x2 front left/right speakers, 2x or 3x center, and 2x2 side surrounds, plus 2x1 rear surround.
That's what I mean... you'll have a few speakers in each position... a few centres, etc.

Incidentally, can one use (larger capacity) regular speakers other than dedicated Axiom surround speakers for surround?
Of course...

Gotcha. So, "bass" is under 100 or 200 Hertz. And what would the "typical" freqency range be that is created for a LFE channel? Assuming other than 20-200 or so.
Bass is just the low notes... there is "bass" in every channel (except sometimes surrounds)... LFE is a channel specifically mixed for a sub... they'll artificially add, say, really low engine thrum to a submarine movie for instance. The LFE channel usually doesn't contain any information about 80-100Hz.

p.s. I shouldn't answer these while eating.
