We got ours late on the 23rd, but it was an anniversary gift for my wife, so it didn't get opened until Jan 2nd (it was REALLY hard to wrap it up and wait :-(). Anyway, she did open it on the 2nd and we have been giving it a thorough workout since then (everything from Phantom of the Opera to Pink Floyd to Jimi Hendrix and a lot more). This sub sounds GREAT!!

We plan to use it 90+% for music. It comes VERY well packed. The only downside is that I've been informed that now we need to re-arrange the living room....
