I've owned one for about a year now and plan on keeping it for awhile longer. Great for home theatre use, pretty good for music listening. If your primary use is for music then I would definately do some comparison shopping. That being said, on a performance vs value basis its a VERY competitive sub. I actually traded DOWN from the Def Tech 18tl with a friend of mine to better match the 15" woofers in my main speakers. These subs dont just claim to go low, they actually do. Go easy on the output level adjustment and calibrate the sound pressure levels to match the rest of your speaker output levels with one of the good calibration discs (Avia, Video essentials, etc.) and I think you'll be pleasantly suprised. IMO. Later...
