Almost there. Not sure I agree with the idea of a sealed enclosure, I kind of like the ported slightly uncontrolled sound better maybe. I got this with the Kanto 5 bookshelf speakers and feel this is just a little underpowered to match them...I wanted just a bit more stomp. Still nice though and it looks good.

I matched the sub 8 with my kanto yu speakers and absolutely love it.

This is a fantastic subwoofer for a small room, especially when it is on sale. It's as good as you are going to get until you are ready for something like the SVS 1000 Pro.

more sub than i need! this thing is great!

You can't beat this little sub at this price range. After couple of weeks of "burn-in" time, it sounds great. I have few other 8" subs (Edifier & Klipsch). Klipsch costs more but it doesn't sound as good as this one.Please not that I have paired this with small Yamaha stereo amp and new Paradigm atom SE speakers. After few days of warm-up time, sub perfectly blended in to the point you can't say where it is located. It may help if you use mike to adjust the parameters of the sub, but it my case there was no need for it.I use it for music only and it was exactly what I was looking for. I'll most likely get another one for a gaming setup to replace edifier sub.
