Good review....a bit of subjectivity there, as it seems the reviewer prefers a brighter, more dynamic sound for music (which he admits). The LSiM's sound like everything I would personally want in a musical speaker.My System Showcase!

That's far from a bad **** sub.HT is more than boom, boom, boom. I rarely turn my sub (PSW1000) on."He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you." Friedrich Nietzsche -
the review doesn't sound impressive.

A larger sub, or multiple subs will be able to play lower with less distortion. A larger sub will have more headroom and allow more room for EQ. Multiples will net flatter in room response(less peaks/valleys). It's about fidelity, not boom boom...which is what you will experience when you have a toy of a sub. :rolleyes:Who cares? There is more to HT than boom, boom, boom."He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster.

And they truly shine with the best. Consider them highly recommended.
Sounds impressive enough to me.Do you hear that buzzing noise?

I agree, a really good sub will give you more than just boom boom boom. EXAMPLE if you please........
My wife brings home this really lame move, InnKeepers, she loves scary movies but this one, had some almost scary stuff, but please, anyway, when the so called supernatural thing was present, there was some incredible LFE, my four wooden shudders and bar were rattling like crazy, like a tank or a C140 was passing low overhead.
My wife asks all scared, "what is that??? Is that the movie???", I hit pause and both the drivers on my Empire POP back into place. I tell her, that was my sub doing that, she's like, Dang!!Source: BRP Panasonic UB9000, CDP Emotiva ERC3 - Display: LG OLED EVO 83 C3 - Pre/Pro: Marantz 8802A - Amplification: Emotiva XPA-DR3, XPA-2 x 2, XPA-6, Speakers, Mains/2ch-Focal Kanta No2's, C-LSiM706, S-702F/X, RS-RTiA9's, WS-RTiA9's, FH-RTiA3's, Subs - Epik Empire x 2

When I was young, I was Superman but now that old age has gotten the best of me I'm only Batman
