What's great about it: Sound/Price
What's not so great: Nothing
While it usually lists for $399.99 - $429.99, I waited until the priced dropped before I bought it. I couldn't be happier that I did. Was well worth the wait. Matched it with Energy Take Classic 5.0 Speakers. After the break in period, music sounds great and movies come to life. Subwoofer & Classics performed flawlessly together. You really FEEL the bass as well as hear it. Highly recommended.
This product has... Right size for my space, Easy to set up

I listened to many subwoofers, and asked many questions of the Magnolia Theater staff before choosing this for my home theater, and once I set it up and calibrated my receiver, I am not impressed. The most important question I asked was how would this sub perform in a larger room (12' x 22') that is carpeted, and was assured by 2 different staff members that it would be more than enough when combined with my older Pioneer VSX-815. I tried each of the recommended wiring setups, and they all failed to match the performance of my towers without the sub. I am returning this in the morning, and suggesting that the Magnolia Theater staff, although well trained in product models and specs, need to be better trained in product performance and room acoustics and what effects that has on performance.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: The full surround sound
What's not so great: More expensive than lower end speakers
The energy esw c10 subwoofer completed my surround sound stereo system. I could not believe what sounds I was missing. My older less expensive subwoofer had about 90% of the sound the energy esw c10. Best Buy was stubborn about the price, but they gave me 10% off the list price. The 10% of made the price less than Amazon.com. Since I purchased all the other energy speakers at about 35% savings on the other 7 speakers, I was satisfied with the 10%.savings on the energy esw c10. I waited patiently for all the speakers to go on sales. I'm glad I did. All I can say is I can't believe what I was missing in sounds from my receiver. My wife, who was concerned about the price of all the speakers, could not believe the sounds we were missing either. Everyone that comes over our house for movie night cannot believe the sound from the speakers either. My wife and I our completely satisfied with our purchases.

What's great about it: sound
What's not so great: little to nothing
i went into my local bestbuy today looking to buy a subwoofer for my bedroom setup and was surprised with what i was shown and told the staff member had told me about this subwoofer saying he owns one and telling how great it sounds so we go try one out and surprised with how it sounded he tells me the price $429.99 i had walked in with only 300 to spend but he then tells me that there is an open box one for $299,99 and he brings it over and the only thing different between that and an unopened one is the the tape on the box was cut i then take it home and it sounds just the same as the one in store so take the small risk with open box items you could save A LOT

What's great about it: Sound, looks, power, easy set up
What's not so great: price
The Energy 400W 10" sub is a great unit for larger rooms. The room I have it in is about 325 sq ft with a cathedral ceiling and no wall on the opposite side. It kicks with a strong, clean umph and reaches all corners of the room evenly. Nice feature about it is that it can shut off after no signal is received for a few minutes and cross over frequency is adjustable. My receiver (Onkyo 606) has an auto calibration feature, which probably helped a lot. Installation was very easy when purchasing a dedicated subwoofer cable.
I would recommend this to a friend!
