The CHT-12 does a great job with music and movies. I have it set to about 40% of its max volume and it absolutely rocks my house. I looked at a lot of speakers/subs at the local stores and it was clearly the best one I found in my price range. With all that being said, I occasionally wonder if I would be happier with a Hsu or SVS sub based on what I read around here. Some people have compared the CHT-12 to the local favorites (Hsu/SVS) and say that the Velodyne doesn't compete. And I have no reason to doubt them as folks here are pretty reliable and honest. But when I get home and listen to my system I am extremely happy with it ... and while I recognize it may be a case of ignorance being bliss... refer back to my first 3 sentences.
