    I picked another one of these up, because they were in stock and on sale. Last one I paid 250, this one I paid a bit more (375). Still think it’s worth it. I have them now places more strategically, evening the bass in my dedicated media room. It’s far more immersive and shakes the house. For those that are on the fence, wondering if 1 is just enough. I’m glad I spent the extra, to get a second. It’s not overwhelming at all, just a more balanced sound.

    Soooooo much bass. This sub puts out amazing power on my Onkyo receiver. Great sound and clarity on hardwood floor.

    Pros Very high excursion subwoofer driver Handles a lot of power Better than typical deep bass extension for a sealed subwoofer Linear and low distortion performance Deep, articulate, and tight bass Unusually compact enclosure, among the smallest twelve-inch sealed subwoofers on the market Cons Finish quality up to the builder Setup can be complex Driver can go from 0 to ugly without warning Requires an external amplifier with DSP for optimal performance

    Only had it a couple of weeks, but speaker seems to work great. It will rumble the floors. However, if you want it quickly, take their estimated shipping times very liberally. What said would be three day Shipping ended up being almost a week. Other than that, I am pleased.

    This sub was more of an upgrade than I expected when my 10" down firing Athena sub went out. It is a bit more directional due to being front firing. We have a fairly small living room and this sub could fill a much bigger room. Over a couple months I had to work on my receiver settings to get a good balance with this. For some movies it was overpowering. Now that I have the volume balanced with the other speakers it's fantastic and plays its part perfectly in an immersive surround system.

    Originally I had this connected to a pre-out on a sound bar and it overpowered the sound in the room, then I bought a set of powered monitors by klipsch and it sounds great. I’m going to be using a receiver soon with floor standing and atmos speakers. So I can only say it’s great in its current set-up. Fingers crossed it sounds great in the next setup

    This sub is a must have and if you will be only getting one sub-woofer - YOU MUST get this one. I took a section for value - because I believe they just cost too much! and one section for ease of use as I needed more info on the switches on the back and so forth. The owner's guide was a shame! BE SURE you get a shielded cable with single male RCA to dual male RCA. (the are LFE and SUB inputs on the speaker) Ours sounded a lot fuller and smoother after we found out these cables were to be used.

    This sub produces some serious bass. Clear and thumps. Amazing feature-turns on and off automatically, or manually. This compliments my B&W surround sound system. I got this at a great price. This sits in an open concept room which covers about 1000 sq ft. It does not produces an obnoxious sound. No rattling or humming. All things the same, I would choose this sub over the competitive brands, not just because of the price, but the bass it compliments with.
