    Great subwoofer. Beautiful design. I wanted a wired speaker because I am old school. It shakes the wall in my man cave.

    This sub is amazing! The perfect addition to my home theater! Bass is very deep and powerful, but not overwhelming. Very clear and natural.

    All I gotta say is WOW! I've heard such great reviews and feedback about this subwoofer and I finally bought it during the early Black Friday sale. This is well worth the MSRP, but even much better value if you can get it at the sale price. The sub produces nice, crisp "booms" and handles lows very well. I have it set to about 1/4 gain and I can feel my tables, dvd rack, etc. shake. I have it paired with a pioneer elite 7.2 receiver and polk surround speakers. This sub is a must buy!

    Great powerful subwoofer. Sounds great. Far outclasses the previous similar size, other brand, woofer that it replaced.

    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.

    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

    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

    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.
