It's the Pinnacle SubSonic and at just 8" per side, this tiny little cube ROCKS!
In one room of the house my wife and I just moved into, I have a full-on 5.1 HT system with an ISF-calibrated 47" RPTV, HDTV via DishNetwork, KEF Q3 mains, etc. etc. But another room presented a challenge. At about 18' square with high ceilings and surrounded by (going clockwise) a sliding glass door, a fireplace, a staircase, and an opening to the dining room, there was only one place for a secondary system for 80% 2-channel music and 20% TV/DVD watching. My solution:
1) A corner cabinet to house my 32" TV and associated gear (low-end Toshiba DVD, VCR, CAL Icon Mk II CD player)
2) Magnepan's MGMC1 wall-mounted speakers, which allow me to push them against the wall when not in use and toe them in properly when listening critically
3) A NAD C370 amp to drive the watt-hungry Maggies as well as some outdoor speakers
4) The coup de grace, the little Pinnacle. My previous sub was (well, still IS, I still own it and am accepting offers) an Adire Rava. It's an attractive, well-built unit that sounds wonderful, but was just too big for the space. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. "OUT!" said wifey. So in came the SubSonic, which sports two beefy 6.5" drivers and a 350-watt amp. It fit nicely into my corner cabinet and, after about a day of break-in during which it bottomed out easily and didn't sound all that good, really started to shake the house. It's jawdropping what this tiny sub will do, and it added just the right amount of deep- and mid-bass under the Maggies, which roll off @ 80 Hz by design. A jazz quartet with standup bass sounds amazingly REAL, and LFE on movies rumble the house and shake the walls.
All in all, the Pinnacle SubSonic fits my needs perfectly in terms of size and WAF -- and sounds d*mn good to boot. I'm very pleased.
