Good - for the money, June 18, 2003

I run this through the Niles Gloria amp for the WHA and when the TV comes on, it automatically switches to that source. The sound at low to moderate levels is great. Good Bass response at those levels. Even turned up loud it's good. I just don't do that often.

Incidentally, when I first got it and listened to it out-of-the-wall, it sounded terrible, thin, no bass. But after putting it in the ceiling and loosely packing roll fiberglass above it to create a chamber, the bass woke up. Full rich natural sound. Movies sound great, music is clear and distinct.

As the others have written, just be aware of the size hole you are making. It's a tabloid (11x17, which is two letter size sheets of paper edge to edge) in size. It's a big hole. Recommend you tape some paper to the wall before buying this speaker just to make sure. But if it looks good, it'll sound good.

PS recommend you put fiberglass behind it no matter what, it'll help the sound from vibrating the adjacent wall.
