Main channel speakers, in a system that has Bass Management, can be small and can be placed where large full range speakers can’t.

Bass Management is the defacto standard in the home.
Virtually all multichannel home theatre systems, whether they are THX Certified and/or use, Dolby Digital or DTS, employ processors with bass management and use five small satellite speakers and a subwoofer. Therefore the recording engineer, director, and producer need to be able to hear what the end customer will hear in his home.
One subwoofer in the correct location of given room will out perform the bass output of five full range speakers.
In small rooms the frequency response of a speaker below 100 Hz is heavily dependent on both the modes of the room and the position of the speaker relative to the listener. (A simple test is to place a subwoofer in the listening position and walk around the boundaries of the room. The bass response will dramatically change from position to position.) The modal response and the position sensitivity makes it virtually impos- sible to get the bass response of 5
