Strength:

Quality and deep bass.

Weakness:

None

Overall I am very satisfied. Build quality is excellent once I open up the grill. Give deep bass when it is called for.

Strength:

Big Bottom

Weakness:

Heavy and big, I don''t really have a problem with this.

This thing thumps!!! I have a pretty big room 30 x 25 and it is scarry with Fat DVD''s. I have been in the music industry in one sence or another for 20 years. This is my first new home system in 10 years though. I ended up with more bass then I can use for my system (Not a big problem :) it gets as low as I wanted and that was my real goal(18hz?). I am running 5 AR speakers with this 2 17s'' 2 15''s and 1 4c. I am a little week on the low/mids with my system but this only shows up in loud volume Music, (I am missing some snap / punch my guess is 200hz or so) I still have some testing to do. But this system is incredible in all other situations low to mid volume music or ALL level of Movies Rock!!! My system blends really nicely and the speakers just disappear. It is possible with an EQ I could make things perfect or (make it worse) at loud music levels. My dennon 2802 only has bass and treble, but I am happy enough that for now this system is great. I would highly recomend any of these products. I still have 2 cheap DVD players and have not heard DVD audio yet. Soon. My system: 1 Sony CX-1 projector (13'' diagonal screen) Denon 2802 2 AR 17''s 2 AR 15''s 1 AR4C CABLES: 14 gauge Carol cable, and monster sub cable. AR RCA for the rest, AR optical. Chris in the corperate office (find it on tweeteraudio.com) is great to work with and gives great pricing. 800 free shipping (120 lbs)

Strength:

Big,bad, and loud

Weakness:

The size of my TV

Totally awesome, I am totally pleased with this monster. It blows any sub under $1500 out of the water. It is surprisingly tight, and accurate totally unlike the the Klipsch series. I almost bought 2 BPS 150's until I heard this monster. My wife saw the box and asked why I bought a new big screen TV.

clean, powerful and tight.

Weakness:

This is the finest subwoofer I have ever heard. In its price class, I truly believe it is untouchable. Plays loud, tight and clean. Provides the LFE in a home theater system with a Denon AV 5800, Mirage OM-5 mains, Mirage HDT center channel and bookshelf Infinitys for the surrounds. Have the Velodyne 1012 hooked to the center to provide full range center channel for the system with excellent results. You cannot go wrong with this subwoofer.

Strength:

Price, looks, quality of sound

Weakness:

Heavy, but what do you expect from a dual 12" sub?

I almost plunked down the same $$$ for a BA 12" sub until I heard the difference with the mirage. I have a huge area where my home theater is and it required a large sub. The 12" Ba prob. wouldn't have covered the area as well. Anyway, I was impressed with how accurate and crisp the bass is depending on what is going on in the movie. For music, it sounded nice although I didn't tinker with settings and location as best as possible. Anyone who feels this speaker doesn't sound right or thinks it's distorted may not have the best Amp. I purchased a Yamaha 6.1 AVR with 80wpc and it works this sub with ease. Overall, it is a tremendous buy for the price. Unfortunately it's size may not allow you to find the perfect placement within your room.

Strength:

Looks, Power, Bipolar Design

Weakness:

Weight- Needed a hand truck to move this monster around the room to find the best location.

Bought this to complete my home theater setup. It was just the kind of window rattler that I was looking for. Stock piled so many movies until I had finished the whole system. Now I'm enjoying every rumble.

But to my surprize, this is not just a great home theater speaker. What it adds to 2 channel stereo, has got to be experienced. From Neil Peart's drums to John Entwhistle's bass and more. Highly recommended.

Strength:

deep bass, build quality, power,

Weakness:

boomy, distorted

i had this sub for one week. at first i thought it sounded great just because it had a lot of boom. then i realized how distorted it was. this sub was either tons of bass and lots of distortion or no bass and clean sound. this sub would be an excellent choice for movies only. i returned this sub to the store and got a ss-1000 for the same price.
