Well I was playing music this morning, sounded great to my ears, put my hand down where those woofers are supposed to be at the front, and couldn't feel any movement. Which I would expect to feel. Which suggests for SS there are no front woofers. However, I've been pretty happy with the sound I've been getting and in fact the service guy who came to fix my rear shelf vibrating thought I had SSP from the sound he was hearing ( I had to find something base heavy to make it vibrate)
