Ihave the Legacy Impact Plus powered sub. It has two active 12"s and 
a new 300 Watt amp with twice the current of the first model. The current 
change has evidently made more of a difference than I would have imagined. It 
went from being accurate and polite to accurate, musical and blow your roof 
off on demand.
        I wanted one that would blend well with my Legacy mains and center. I 
looked at Velvodyne, Defin Techs, Bag End (older model), Paradigm, and a few
consumer types in Circuit City, etc. I wanted first a musical sub, and not a 
one note thumper. But, I also wanted something that I could dial up for Home 
Theater apps. I got both with the Legacy and am really pleased.
        Bag End (erroniously called "Brown Bag" in an earlier message) now 
offers a 400 watt 18" sub with a two level setting capability. One for music 
and one for Home Theater. It is supposed to be Extraordinary and priced at 
about 1K. That is very reasonable compared to most others in its' quality and 
performance level.
        I am playing with the idea of a rear channel sub for Dolby Digital. 
But I haven't made any decisions yet. The deep base information in the rear 
channels is supposed to be full range and seperated from the front channels. 
But we will have to see if there will be enough to warrant the expense of 
building/buying one. Your thoughts?
Cheers, John
