What do you think about Athena Subs?? (1 Viewer)

[Sean Mullin]

Athena Technologies AS-P4000 10" 400 Watt Compact Powered Subwoofer

found what I think might be a fair deal one this unit...

I know nothing about the Athena Speakers or subs..

what is your opinion of them?? and what do you think about THIS deal here??

Don't know if this casual opinion will help but: the Athena subs I heard at several Best Buys IMO sounded better than the Klipschs they sell. The Athenas had a rich, deep quality while the Klipschs, while having more "punch" had less depth & a slightly boomy sound (even the one sitting in the middle of their speaker theater). I also didn't think the enclosures of the Klipschs were built very well-while playing, the top panel for example exhibited a lot of vibration.

For me anyway, the Athenas would be better for music reproduction, though still could respectably reproduce movie effects.

The only negative I can think of with the Athena is that it is only 100w, but for $150, I guess you can't complain and I'm sure it is enough as long as you don't have a huge room. Onecall and Audio Advisor also have it for $150, just not with free shipping.
