Is bagend a reputable company

I just read on the soundandvision website about their new Infra sub 12 which has a claimed +/- 3dB response of 95 to 8 Hz. Yes, that's right 8 Hz. I shot of an email questioning this 8Hz rating and even mentioned that Wilson Audio XS is only rated to 16Hz and that is a coffin sized box with dual 18 woofers. Seems like marketing BS to me so I wondered if they were decent folk who had just mis stepped.

BagEnd is located in a suburb of Chicago, and a couple of my favorite local Chicago clubs used BagEnd speakers for their PA systems. I always thought the sound was excellent. One of them (Schuba's) switched to ElectroVoice a few years ago and I don't think the sound has been the same since. I don't know if they made any other changes or if it was merely the difference between the two speaker brands, but I much preferred the old BagEnd sound to the EV sound. I plan on checking out one of their 4x12 guitar speaker cabinets one day (if they're still making them, that is).

You should really listen to these subwoofers -- they are pretty darn good for the pricepoint. The only reason that I do not have one is the size of the enclosure vs. the position they liked in my room. With two of them and a door slam on a movie, it will make the couch move....

Also, some of my favorite local bans utilize Bag end pro gear -- sound nice in open air!!

I demo'ed the Infrasub 18 inch sub in my home for several weeks. It was an excellent musical sub. You will notice that the fit'n finish may not be the best in the business but the sound is all business.

Also, the Infrasub 18 inch sub does not offer infinite dial-in configurations.

Definitely worth looking at.
