from Best Buy Summary: I love listening to action movies way too loud. If the Earth is blowing up in the movie, the Earth around me better be shaking as well. I listened to a friends Velodyne sub that cost him $700 and it sounded great but I just was not willing to pay that if it was not absolutely necessary. I read a lot of positive reviews about this sub and gave it a try. It is exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately I was in a hurry when I bought it so I paid $65 more than I had to but it's still worth double what I paid. I use a Monster cable and the net net on this thing is great.Killer for movies turn it all the way up. BUT the volume must be at about 50% for most music or it gets boomy. That's the only downside and that's hardly down, when you switch from viewing to music you have to make an adjustment. For $200 I can deal with that. Every time my house shakes a little tear runs down my face. A tear for my buddy who dropped $700 bucks on that Velodyne. This sounds/feels just as good. Also it's almost silly to even compare the two, but it's significantly more impactful as any Bose sub. Strengths: Cheap, Sounds/feels great, shakes the entire house, shakes the neighbors house, auto off is ideal, the addition of a powerful sub transforms the entire listening experience and the ability to do that for only $135 is a blessing. Weaknesses: You absolutely must turn the volume way down when listening to music, when you do that, it sounds great for music as well.
