The two channels system's Outlaw is going to a third system for kids so they don’t burn out projector bulbs – or trash the HT room. So I’m in the market for another sub woofer. But I need it to match my Opus 2’s. I’m considering one of these Wharfedale subs (the SW 300 in piano black) http://www.wharfedale.co.uk/range.php?range_id=18

Has anyone heard them? My dealer told me this new series is supposed to be much better than previous Wharfedale subs, but he hasn’t actually listened to them all that much. He did say the old versions suck. I'm thinking the remote would be pretty cool.

Ya I know, I should just bight the bullet and pick up another EP, but they’re just too damn expensive in gloss.

Can't say I've heard the Wharfdales, but they sure are good looking.

I had a Wharfedale sub about a year ago. While it wasn't to bad of a sub the Hsu VTF 2 that replaced it smokes it's rear for sq and output.

My dealer of choice said that model sucked Rick. He also told me that for the price, he can get some 05 model Audio Pro subs ( the B2.2.7) that he tells me sound very good with music. Made in Sweeden. Quite a bit cheaper than the new Wharf.

This is nice having a dealer that actually tries to talk me out of spending money.

I would say that dealer is one you want to keep around. Rare in todays competitive market.

Nice to have an AV dealer that uses proper industry terminology like "sucks". Not somone I would buy from, just my 2 cents, sounds more like a salesman to me.
