I can't stop listening to my system since I got the EP800v4NME.
I never realized how addictive listening to music can be until I got this Nirvana of a sub. I typically listened to music with PLII before this sub. Now, I find stereo is better with all types of material. Also, Audyssey and non-Audyssey sound close now but Audyssey is still better-sounding in my room.
The sub is so damned addictive; everyone who has heard it, wants it badly. I temporarily have a second one that I'll be hauling over to one of my buddies because since he heard it, he can't rest. He just can't hear with his SVS what he is hearing with mine.
I'm still keeping mum on the Gut Punch mode because I don't want to influence Slim's opinion.
Surprisingly, I have nothing negative to say about this sub or the VP160v4. I'll forever be in Ian's gratitude for giving my sub his personal attention.
