I bought this impressive subwoofer on July 21, but now don't need it with my new, truly full range speakers. This subwoofer is flat and currently sits under my entertainment center, but has all the output and sound quality of your big-box store subwoofer. Only an SVS or similar sub would have better sound quality and higher output, but that requires it's own floor space and a lot more money. I was very skeptical about the flat design, but using a high quality amplifier and woofer, Acoustic Research truly did make a flat subwoofer that performs as well as the average boxy designs. Being that it is just over a month old, included will be the original box, packing, paperwork, power cord, and receipt if you want it. I don't even think I submitted the warranty paperwork, so you practically have a new subwoofer! Also included will be a Monster THX 10ft subwoofer cable.
Current pricing online is around $200 ($500 MSRP), but I'll take $150 plus shipping.

I'm interested too, but I'll let the new ower open it up as I'm sure Acoustic Research wouldn't recommend it... 🙂
