Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have this for almost a year now and I am very satisfied. The bass is rich and clean and deep. Hook up was straight forward because the basement was being built. Should not be much more difficult for retro job. I bought these because I didn't want to see any speakers. I also did not want to compromise on sound. The sub delivers nicely based on my requirements. I get a bit concerned about the energy being delivered into the walls. If I put my hand on the wall on any corner of the room, I can feel the walls under intense pressure more so when a blu-ray movie is on as these seem to have wicked lows. For instance there are certain scenes in Avatar that go really low and the sub has absolutely no trouble authentically reproducing these lows. It is a very immersive experience. It isn't a stretch for this thing to pop the drywall clean off if the drywall isn't done properly. It is hooked up to the SMS-1 even though Audessey is processing the sound as well. To power this, I am using the Buttkicker 4000 which seems to be sufficient. There is some distortion in the amp which makes it thru to the speaker but you would need to be a bass head to notice it. The problem with this speaker is that it is built into the wall cavity behind the drywall. That cavity is cold because the walls are cold. The walls are cold because the basement is below grade. Cold air then leaks into the room via the open port in the subwoofer. Easy fix, stuff the port with some insulation to keep the cold air out. I have had friends over who absolutely refused to believe that there is a sub in the wall. They feel the bass but because it is non directional and well tuned it takes a while to actually find the source. Nice! Bottom line. This sub delivers even for the discerning listener. The sub performs best with the recommended amplifier although you can get by with a suitable alternative with suitable RMS. I am also very pleased with the designer grill because it Is minimalistic. I took one star away for installation because the speaker grill definitely is very difficult to adjust.
