The Magnat signature series bookshelf speakers and magnat alpha rs 8 inch sub sound really good . There well balanced on the warmer side like klipsh .The 8 inch sub hits hard in a Jr apartment . I have it connected to a fosi bt30d pro mini amp .I can't really go past 20 percent without disturbing the neighbors It's loud and clear well made .Adorama has awesome customer service they go above and beyond . Shipping from New York was quick less then a week .I'm very please . Side note check out open box .You can get a really nice set up on a budget . .

I've been using the 12" Magnat subwoofer for a month now, here are my thoughts: Prior to buying this item, I had never heard of Magnat, but with any product, I try to do a little homework before making a decision. Finding useful information or even written/video reviews after seeing the deal was difficult to say the least. However, based on what I was able to find, and with some encouragement from my wife, I pulled the trigger and got it. Setup was a breeze since I was just replacing an older Polk PSW10 that I bought some years ago. After setting it up, the difference was immediately noticeable. Queued up Edge of Tomorrow for the opening credits and cranked the volume up to 70...and was taken to THRILLED CITY! This sub absolutely crushes! Seriously! I had to secure a closet door that rattled like a machine gun, had to rearrange some silverware that was shaking on the counter in our kitchen, as well as shift some things around on our microwave cart. The range hood above our oven also reacted to the low frequencies, but not much that I could do about that. I've primarily used it for movies/TV shows, but I have listened to some music here and there, and it sounds great regardless of what you throw at it. Pros: Looks good, sounds great, gets pretty low (maybe not quite as low as they say, but it doesn't bother me in the slightest), easy to setup, great price to performance. Cons: None that I can speak of. It's been a joy so far.

Nice sub for the money. Sounds good with my Klipsch speakers.

Filled in the low end of my 5.1 setup nicely. Seamless blend. Strong, low bass. Has plenty of power. Easy to hook up and adjust. Good looking, nice, high-quality look. Moderate size, well proportioned--a bit longer and narrower than many squarish enclosures. The owner's manual could use some reworking but fortunately the controls and connections are pretty obvious. Compares nicely to my old JBL sub.

I paid $199 ea and bought two on sale. I think for the price it is worth it. Two 12's in the bedroom may be a little much, but since that's where I watch movies I needed them. Doesn't play low enough to rattle the windows like my 15 does, but by using a pair it's good enough. Quite boomy for music, you'll need to cross it at 80hz or lower unless you want to hear one note - it has a huge hump at 100hz. No way would I pay more than $200 for this sub.

Value/price perfection. I bought this as an additional sub to my 7.2 setup. It has not disappointed at all. For the price, it rivals my Klipsch 12". Would recommend.
