from SoundTrack Summary:
I shopped for subs for 14 years before I bought and kept one (brought several others home, returned all). I just couldn't find one that did what I think a sub should do - disappear. To me, a sub should make your main speakers sound deeper and more solid. It shouldn't sound like a separate component.
This sub is the first I've found that does the above. It is so accurate that I can turn off the main woofers, turn the crossover up to 140 Hz (normally a really bad idea) and play deep male vocals and deep piano parts that sound totally natural.
Other subs (Velodyne, Sunfire, Infinity, Klipsh, Yamaha, Definitive Technology, Boston Acoustics and many others) were never able to do what I just described. They're either clean but not deep or deep but not clean. They always stick out. This sub is deep, clean and blends amazingly well.
As a bonus, this thing has the power to shake everything in my 3-story house when using it for cinema. The impact at high volumes is amazing. Strengths:
Depth, accuracy, power, transparency Weaknesses:
The thing is over 100 pounds in the box - hard to move. Of course, this might be part of the reason it is so good.
It's pricey but worth it.
Setup and room placement is critical. However, this is true of all speakers and subs in particular. But, at least for me, a few inches here or there can take it from fabulous to average and back. Similar Products Used:
Described above. I listed to subs from $100 to $7,000. Nothing came close. Even pairs couldn't do what I wanted.
