The clarity is amazing. Aside from its ability to play effects as needed -LFE, It is incredibly musical. At the store we were able to compare all sub woofers on hand(5) with no other speakers playing, and as much as I wanted to like the less costly ones, there was no comparison.
This product has... Good build quality, fantastic sound

What's great about it: Great speaker at a big price
Great look, excellent sound, at a big $1500 price. You pay for quality. I love them. The sound & power are phenomenal as I'm using them w/ the new Onkyo TX-NR809 receiver. Highly recommended. I'm glad I paid more to get the better sub.

What's great about it: great sub for music and for movies
What's not so great: nothing
Let's face it, one of the toughest peformance issues with any given hometheater/stereo set up is the reproduction of accurate low end (<120hz) detail with precise accuracy. While most mass produced inexpensive subs will perform respectfully during moving play back, they rarely do when it comes to musical content that is bass intensive, as they are characterized by slobby response and distortion. The Bowers and Wilkins AWS10CM does not fall victum to any of these short comings. The woofer itself is paper wrapped in kevlar which allows for a light weight driver, which can move a lot of air, without distorting and needing an immense amount of wattage. A 500 watt Class D amp provides plenty of juice to push this woofer even at the most demanding volume levels. The 10 inch driver, in my opinion, is the right sized sub to go with unless you have a massive room. It hits deep accurately and is not subject to a lot of the distortion larger drivers fall victum too. The only draw back is that they typically do not hit the 20hz frequency range which is the lowest end of the spretrum that humans can hear. Howerver, the AWS10CM will go as low as 25hz, which is darn close. I have the entire B&W setup, the cm9's the cm center 2, and the dps rears, and this sub images perfectly with them. Overall, this sub is excellent and the best one that can be bought at Best Buys Magnolia Home Theater. Don't let them tell you that Def Tech supercube is the best one, because its not. Too small of drivers and passive radiators are a fancy version of a sub port.
