Let's start from something that was not very important for me, but that was for my wife: this subwoofer looks great next to the entertainment center. It is well finished, elegant, and understated enough to not be just a bulky piece of wood in the middle of the room. Understated, that is, until you switch it in. The sound is deep, powerful and very pleasant. Even at low volume, it makes a difference. For the price point, I could not find a better product. 

Question: Why is the sub great for music?
