I'm using this sub as part of a 7.1 system that includes two Energy Take TWR speakers for the front channels, a Take FPS for the center channel, and four Take SAT speakers for the surrounds. It produces deep bass down to about 31Hz, which should be plenty for all but the deepest of bass aficionados. This results in a sub that handles all but the most challenging home theater tasks with ease. For example, at the beginning of the movie "Transformers", you hear and feel lots of deep bass for the helicopter in flight, but you just hear (rather than feel) the shock wave that the evil transformer sends out in it's first attack. (In all fairness, you'd need at least a 12-15" sub with considerably more power to feel that in your living room.)

The flip side of this lack of hyper-deep bass response is that the ESW-V8 is an extremely musical sub. I've thrown a large quantity of material at it, anything from classical to pop to dance to live jazz, and it handled them all with equal aplomb.

Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and would recommend this sub to anyone looking for a solid upgrade to their home theater system.

I love this sub. Got it running 5.1 with rosewood rc-10's and minis. Sounds crazy! Got it for 250 though. Would love to add another to my system but don't know about this current price. It is worth it though, the build alone. This sub will rock out any apartment.

This is a great sub that produces sweet sounding bass from a very small enclosure. I've found that it's perfect for my apartment, and I'd be hard-pressed to find a better performer for under 300. Amazon's prices are a little high, but this can be had for less on the bay.

Bought this for only $225.00 online closeout. Tremendous good looks and sturdy build...sounds great at low or higher volumes. Great valure for the money..paired up with a set of Energy Take 5 Classics (Chinese Built ones). Need a good amount of break-in before these
speakers are broken in. Once broken in..there's no better sound for the money. The piano black laquer finish looks great with other black components. Sorry to say they are now discontinued.

When i first hooked the sub up it sounded weak but the more i used it the louder it got. To be a 8 inch sub it gets low. The look is nice. It has a 200 rms bash amp, so you need the right equipment to push the littlle devil. I'm very pleased with the esw-v8.
