Just wanted to say that this subwoofer is FANSTASTIC. Earthquakes come to mind. I did a SPL sound level match the other night. When it got to the LFE section, man, it was so INTENSE and FUN!
My wife ran to my HT room and said, "You scared the heck out of me! What was that?"
It can definitely dramatically improve the bass, but it still cannot do magic and create bass where there are none.
In outstanding soundtrack movies like Ratatouille, Day After Tomorrow, Hellboy, & Die Hard 4, the bass output from the Trinity was PHENOMINAL.
Although it significantly improved the bass in Transformers HD DVD, the overall soundtrack of this movie (bass, dialogue, etc.) still falls short of the above mentioned movies and many other BD movies.
Even with all the great components we all own presently and will own in the near future, it is still the actual software that determines how great a movie looks & sounds in our multi-thousand dollar systems.
