Martin Logan Descent subwoofer

Has anyone heard the Descent? How does it compare to the better subs out there?

The room must have been 22ft long by at least 15ft wide with a 9ft ceiling. I was astounded such a small box having so much deeeeep oomph! - Something that ML had never really shone at (IMO). All this said, the room was very solid, and must have been supremely braced and insulated.

I've got a pair of Martin Logan Odysseys, at some point the Descent is going to join them. Tight bass, with the kind of crisp edge I like. Frankly the Descent sounded better than any of the REL models I auditioned (Stadium II, III and Stentor).
