I'm not sure if anyone cares, but I pulled the trigger on an LFM-1+ and it came today (Thanks for all the help over the phone, Scott!). I did an A/B comparison of the two subs with the prized aquarium thumping from Finding Nemo and I have to say that I am extremely impressed and happy with the Outlaw.

The bass from the LFM is much more controlled and tighter. Its not as audacious as the PW2200, but somehow the tighter bass is much more appealing... less boomy. So, my finicky Paradigm, with its overly-sensative auto-sensing control, gets put to pasture. Problem solved.

Thanks Gonk and Stickpony!
