My mistake, it isn't 1500 watts, it's 1200 watts. I listened to it at a local dealer along with many other subs for a good while. That tiny little thing blew away their Polk PSW450, their comparable Monitor subs, and a 12" Velodyne servo sub, and this was in a relatively large room (~20'x20'x15'. It's small size helps make it incredibly musical which it is in my opinion. While it won't go as loud as an EP350 it is probably one heck of a match for it in every other aspect(empasis on the "probably" as I haven't heard the EP350, yet). Combining the wife or decorating factor along with sound, nothing comes close.
