I laughed at one of the latter responses, that they are worthless if you have a good (large) set of speakers.
I am auditioning subs, and the latest one is an NHT SW3 with its amp. The guy might give it to me for cheap.
But with my Vandy 3's, the Sub was invisible, and did nothing to add to the sound, except when I turned the volume to max and increased the low pass to over 80. At that point you could hear it, and all it really did was muddy up the sound of the Vandys.
I knew my Vandys were good speakers, but little did I know that they made this sub useless.
