I have added the DSWpro 400 sub to my system.:D
I'm breaking it in right now listening to music. The big test will be this weekend when I crank it for a slew of movies, including Ironman!:D

Outstanding Cathy!!! Keep us up to date. Who brought it in for you?"Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!

2 questions:
1. What time do you want us over ?
2. What are you having for dinner.

Congratulations on your new toy !

Congrats Cathy.
REGARDS SNOWWell, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all -

Well I spent the weekend listening to music & movies & checking out the different options of the sub.
I still up in the air about the sub for music. It seems to swing from very subtle to very thumpy. I'm still looking for just the right setting for it for music. It's hard since I listen to such an ecletic mix of music.
For movies...IT'S OUTSTANDING!!!!
For the first time my room vibrated during big booms!:D This was so apparent when I watched Ironman this afternoon. Between the thumps when he came out of the cave to the difference in the volume of noise the thrusters that Obidiah used on his suit vs the level that Tony used for his was just great.
It's fun to feel the vibrations in your chest during action sequences!:eek::D
All in all, I'm very pleased with my purchase.:)Marantz AV-7705 PrePro, Classé 5 channel 200wpc Amp, Oppo 103 BluRay, Rotel RCD-1072 CDP, Sony XBR-49X800E TV, Polk S60 Main Speakers, Polk ES30 Center Channel, Polk S15 Surround Speakers SVS SB12-NSD x2 -
Cathy, with all but one of the Polk subs I have owned the volume was pretty close to 3 or 4 out of a possible 100 when listening to music. I kinda just used them to accent the sound. Hope this helps find your "happy spot".~ In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable?
