I visited Magnolia to check out this sub against the Energy 10" as well as the Pro800 (8" sub) from DT. Hands down this sub won it for me. Nice rich sound and plenty of power you can hear and feel. I only have it turned up about 1/3 of the way in my home, hooked up to a Denon receiver which sounds great. I do wish the price was lower but I've learned that you get what you pay for. Great build quality as well & not a huge footprint. I also like the volume control located on the side of the sub for easy access. I bought this sub primarily for movie watching. I plan on upgrading the rest of my surround system to Definitive Tech, purchasing the Pro1000 monitors & Pro2000 Center in the future
What's great about it: excellent sound, plenty of power, build quality
