Well, they are shipping and I do have mine. It sounds great, the output is less than I am used to, but still more than I need. Listening to songs the biggest difference I notice is how pointed and short some of the notes actually are compared to how long they seemed on my BMs. They sound much closer to my B&Ws in my room, just pin pricks of sound where it should be with no hangover. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a true SQ sub. Now the caveats: If you are looking for a loud sub that can take more than 1000 watts this is not the sub for you. This is designed specifically for a 1 cubic foot sealed box, that is it. They are also designed to only take 1000 watts, not 1050, not 1500, not 2000, 1000 watts, anymore and you may ruin it. With that said it is an efficient sub and shouldn't need 1000 watts to get to full volume. These need to be ordered on SI's site, www.stereointegrity.com If you do order them from this review mention bose301s or Richard Hall in the where you heard about them part.
