Supposedly pretty cool but true, it will depend on room for best use. Also, it's really not being made for most people found on an audio forum who already have 5 to 10 speakers for their surround sound system. It's more of a niche product for those looking for "better" sound with their new flat panel televisions and who don't want speakers all around their room.

Look for a list price around $1500. And yes, it does have a subwoofer output.
