Not impressed with sound quality and finish quality
I bought this subwoofer to replace my existing 8" Velodyne Deco. Based on other reviews I expected it to easily provide more sound to fill my room. After setting it up and running the Audyssey setup on my Denon I tried it out. I was not impressed. up close the sound was good, but more than 10 feet away you hardly hear it. I adjusted the physical position, EQ and crossover, volume, etc. and couldn't find a good balance. The only way to get enough volume in the room is to adjust the volume to 75%, but then the port starts fluttering and making distracting noises. I put my 8" Velodyne next to it just to make sure there wasn't something set up wrong. Other than the Monoprice having a lower frequency response, the Velodyne sounded better. Also, the cabinet has white marks all over it. It looks like sealant was on the assembler's glove. Overall I'm not impressed and would return if return shipping didn't cost almost half as much as I paid for the speaker. I have bought several other Monoprice speakers in the past and found the cost vs. performance good. This speaker changed my mind and dropped Monoprice down on my list.
