Paradigm SERVO 15 Subwoofer Speaker

Let’s keep it simple, shall we? Pros: Concise clarity beyond your wildest dreams. So clear and flat from 15 to 150 hertz that I wish I didn't have Studio 100's in the front, there's no need! The power is more than needed in all applications I've found (which is testified by my next comment). You cannot hurt it. If you try you will fail. I've tried and I've never even managed to send it into its protection mode, which, by the way, doesn't mean it shuts off. It just powers itself within its capabilities until it cools down. That is cool! Did I mention it has literally cracked the plaster in all but the peripheral rooms of my house? Now to be fair my house is over 70 years old. But, by the same token it has survived over 70 years of California trembles and one little (well not actually little) servo comes along and starts picking it apart! I find myself grabbing spackle and paint along with the popcorn before the movie, which reminds me, this sub is wasted on movies. Don’t get me wrong, its performance is simply divine in even greatest action flick, but music is where you separate the mice (sorry Mickey) from the men (and women of course). Its performance in music is flawless for all intents and purposes. Could it be better? Maybe. Only other electronics can tell. I know every audio enthusiast (or audiophile if you will) always wants more or knows there’s a way to make it better (8 gauge, triple tungsten insulated, gold plated, pure silver, interconnects. Right?), but the reality is that it is entirely negligible at this point. DVD audio illustrates nicely. Grab some pipe organ music in this format and you will understand. I can’t tell the difference between Servo and church. Well, actually I can, because by moving the servo around I get to choose whether I get that holy, resonant sound or whether I get that studio perfection, which brings me to the Cons. It’s too big and heavy (actually I like that about it though). At well over a hundred pounds it is hard to move, but look on the bright side, it’s also hard to steal! No really, pushing it around on carpet is fine and even kind of fun, you get to pretend you’re a bulldozer (watch out for the wife’s end table), but hardwood, tile, etc. leaves something to be desired. My other complaint is that it is bigger than my wife’s end table! I know what you’re thinking. Just doze over the wife’s end table and then park it there! No! It’s hard enough trying to set something full of wet stuff on the table next to it. Unfortunately, it just can’t serve as an end table, or any other table, or TV stand, or whatever you thinking of right now. No! You must attempt to hide it and fail miserably, or embrace it as a cubic piece of art that is to be prominently displayed wherever you shall choose.
