Canada Rob- Thank you for posting this review. I am oh so glad it posted AFTER I placed my order with Louis for mine in walnut to match my 7XRS's. I must have had at least three pairs of subs and a few singles in my system over the last 35 years (try being a bassist and not have a sub or two) and I KNEW that Louis's 8 would be the match I needed. So looking forward to the middle of May when it arrives. Music just oozes out of this system, sure you hear the warts of a so so 70's rock recording but hey, who cares? It's the music. We are looking forward to having this sub in the system. Loving our speakers. Happy listening, Chris
