    Absolutely amazing. Was playing with this and on the other side of the house a clock fell off the wall. I live on a concrete slab foundation. That says A LOT about this powerful beast.

    Excellent value and performance for the price. Brought new life into my 90's AV system. Replaced a JPL powered sub. After speaker break in and fine tuning subwoofer controls. I am very happy with my purchase. Wait for it to go on sale for deep discount or not, still worth it. The Sales associate was very helpful and friendly.
