So as it turned out, poor me... nuthin'! Right out of the box this machine is a solid, imposing, impressive, almost monolithic piece of furniture. Set-up is easy as my HK 3490 Receiver has an RCA Sub Out. The Elac speakers are very inefficient at 86db sensitivity, so I set the gain dial at only 9:00 o'clock. The instructions advised 12:00 be the baseline vollume for a receiver hook-up like mine, but that turned out to be incorrect. At this point my understanding of LFE vs Line Level Output is still rather vague. I had also thought that a low crossover setting of 55-60 hz would suit the Elacs, rated for a 44hz low but I was wrong. I'm finding that 90 - 100 hz will still complement the speakers while supplementing their output, adding just a bit of low-end oomph.
And after a short 10 day break-in period, I'm finding I'm really liking that bit of oomph with the cello of a Beethoven string quartet or the tympanic rolls of a Bartok concerto, instruments that I can now feel in the pit of my stomach.. But when I put on Romantic Warrior of Return To Forever or Imaginary Worlds of Sammy Figueroa and crank up the 120 wpc of the HK, the Klipsch, at present settings is more than enough force to knock me down and beat me up. Ahhhh....hurt me.
To conclude, after break-in the bass on this unit is clean and tight and real powerful when you need it to be. At any of the Amazon pricings it represents an excellent buy and if you're looking for a sub for a medium range audio system it definitely merits your strong consideration. I'm certainly happy enough.
This is small, and that is awesome for those looking for a small sub. It does not look as good as the HTS Sub, but it sounds way better than the extra $40 you pay for this over the Polk.
The Bose speakers are scientifically precise with the least boominess, especially the acoustimass with the $999 speakers. But they lack the warmth of even the cheapest Polk sub. I believe there is a whole range of frequencies lost somewhere between the mids and the lows in the Bose.
Polk PSW10 is horrible in comparison to this speaker. If you can afford this one, forget about it.
The Polk HTS is larger than the PSW10, sounds much better, and looks way more beautiful than this one with the grills on it. But, it suffers from the same boominess issue as the PSW10 which becomes a problem when you raise the volume of the sub. That is a problem because there are some songs where the bass is too boomy and if you reduce the sub volume, you basically loose the lows at such volumes - so what is the point?
The Klipsch is not as warm as the polks, not as cold, stark and precise as the Bose, and yet are very nice speakers with way less boominess and you can increase the volume a lot before the boominess starts and even then it is not that bad.
This makes me feel that there maybe subs at the next level which sound even better, but for my purposes I think this is more than adequate.
For home theater this is perfect, for music, sure you will definitely be able to get better sub than this for more $$$.
I would pay for a better sub than this if I am able to listen to music all the time, even when working and really obsessed with sound so much because I hear so much of it - I would go higher than this speaker.
But for most normal people who come home from work, feel tired, want to chill out in the evenings and the weekend, this should be more than adequate.
For sure, if your room/hall is very large then also I may go for something bigger. But for small/ medium size rooms this guy is more than adequate with low distortion for the price even at high volumes.
I would buy this one, if you are looking for a reasonably good, sound not wanting to pay too much just for a sub.
Update: I returned both and got two Klipsch R-110SW Subwoofer instead. It is only $75 more, and its price is more steady. The price on this one dropped since I got it. The reason I returned this eventually is because of comparison with my Bose acoustimass which has no boominess at all. So, even though this sub is very cute, very small and has much better sound than the Polk, it is still somewhat boomy which made a difference when there is a better one for just $75 more with a more stable price.
The Klipsch R-110SW Subwoofer blows everything I have heard so far - wow! Super clear, no noise at all! There is a big, big difference - slightly bigger, way more heavier, but extremely low distortion. I’ll put my review of that sub on its page.
I record in the studio, so it could just be that makes me more sensitive to distortion.

Reviewed in Mexico on December 23, 2023
I talked to Amazon, this sub is being returned as defective and a new sub is on the way.
I gave this a 5 star rating because of the awesome sound and technical support from all involved including the Amazon rep I talked to. Hoping the replacement is not defective as these subs would have rolled off the assembly line pretty close to each other and that a batch of components could be faulty.
