    This low range speaker really improves the sound from our new OLED TV in our den.

    Got this because it was an open box item. Also I have sony speakers so it completed my set. Works as I expected. It has an auto off feature that will turn it off when the bass isn't being used in the current scene, which I turned off because I just got annoyed hearing it click on and off constantly.

    My pioneer sub died and needed to replace so i got this as a replacement. If it was lame id send it back. But im keeping it good rumble. You probably want to get feet to decouple from the floor.

    This unit replaced an older subwoofer. I was hesitant to purchase this but given the price and the fact it was complementing my Sony floor speaker it made the decision easier. It has very good lows and works well for both movies and music entertainment. No regrets.
