The DSW PRO 500's are excellent when paired with RTi-A5 fronts and an antimode 8033 active equallizer; the warp scenes and Phaser fight scene on the Star Trek Blu-Ray are so tight, punchy, and volumetric at the same time -really nice clean bass. This is with a NAD T747 receiver, which is much better than the Sony STR-DG510 I was running previously. The DSW PRO 500 don't go LOW enough though with a 23Hz extension rating... a third sub to get great high quality bass in the mid-teen Hz range would help out (Rythmic DS1500ci with custom enclosure is what I'd like.)
