I am leading toward this LFM-1C model to argument with the Yamaha YSP and possibility with the big Sound labs I have. If money was no object I would look into the Thiel subwoofers. Long time ago I used to own the Thiel 3.5. Now both Thiel subwoofers and the 3.7 are now of body and mind condering their prices. I just do not have that kind of money and wanted the LFM to hold up for the long run. The only feature missing is a equalizer to reduce the peaks but not sure how important that is going to be at this point.
