I hate to say it, but you guys that think the SVS Subwoofers are "butt ugly" are dead wrong. Check out:

Steve C and I have displayed a pictures that include an SVS product. I have a PCi 25-31. It is a powered subwoofer tuned to 25 Mhz and is 31" tall. I won't even discuss how awesome the performance is. Depending on how visible you want your subwoofer to be (best performance usually occurs tucked away in a corner) may determine how important looks is anyway.

But, of course, you always want to display your Axioms in open view because they are great looking speakers!
