I have the 200 watt baby, just got it yesterday. Going into a budget system for a friend. So far I must say my early impressions are that this unit is....well....impressive. I hate even saying this but it compares well with a Paradigm PW-2200 sub that I just used to build another system with. This is a very accurate 12 incher and mindblowing thunder can come out of this sub if that's what the source audio calls for. It has alot of tightness for a 12 and can operate properly in the 80-120hz zone which surprised me alot for the price of this baby. It is also a large heavy unit, weighing it at 46 lbs.
I would give this sub an A+ for value for what you get for the money.

Tell me about it! When I started this my friend was going to spend about $300 total on a Home theatre in a box, but at about $1000 dollars later on the speakers, sub, reveiver, DVI-DVD Player, cables, stands and furniture I am done, and (knock on wood) my friend is thrilled with his entry level system. Hard to imagine that spending $1000 on something is entry level but such is the way of the world

Hehe,
I know what you mean. My dad started out with a simple home-theater-in-a-box package years ago but soon auditioned the higher end stuff later on. That was a mistake (for the wallet anyways) as we found out there's A LOT better stuff out there. Tune to the present and our home theater (TV, speakers, preamp/amp, etc.) costs almost $12,000-$13,000. Can't say we regret it though as my parents love our home theater and use it religiously.

Any opinion on the Velodyne VX10 sub ? Does it go well with either the AV-HTB or SX-HTB from Fluance ?

Go to Home Depot and buy a "fish tape." It's a roll of stiff wire that you use to fish cable. Lift up the edge of carpet where your speaker is. Fish the tape underneath the carpet (but above the pad) to your receiver. Lift the edge of carpet there and attach the speaker wire to the end of the tape. Now pull the cable through. You'll want to bend the tacks on the carpet strips where the cable passes so they won't pierce the cable housing.
