I think Fluance products sound great and priced right. I wasn't looking for the loudest or cheapest home theatre system. I just got this subwoofer and love how subtle the bass range is. It comes with metal floor spikes (and metal pads). I have a set of Fluance speakers and I'm glad I didn't buy a cheaper subwoofer. This a great price for a low frequency sub. It includes shipping. I think you'll be happy with Fluance.
