Summary:
Wow,

This is one big, big speaker. I've been in the market for a few months now and have probably auditioned and seen over 60 subs available in Europe.

I thought I'd never see as big a difference as I did between my old 12 inch passive sub and this incredible 15 inch powered sub. I've only had it a few days - but it has already added new life to my old movies like Armageddon, Matrix etc.

I am now using it in Europe so I get to use all 240 volts for now. I had to pay import tax duty, thus the higher than average price. I compared it to the KEF THX sub, and this one won hands down. This one was larger, stronger, more econmical and easier to adjust than any others.

I haven't tried any music cd's, but with the controls on the front of the speaker, changing from movie to music should not pose that big a problem.

Strengths:
Controls on the front of the speaker, remote control, 15 inches of floor shaking speaker.

Weaknesses:
Hard to hide, since it is enormous. The user manual leaved a little bit to be desired.

Price Paid:  $600.00

Summary:
there is no other woofer in this price range maybe in the earth that is this powerfull and no distortion

Strengths:
no woofer sounds better

Weaknesses:
none
