I just picked up an Energy eXL 8 for $50 this weekend. Won't win any pissing contests with this, but I just threw together an HT and it only sees HT duties. Sad part of this subwoofer is that it has a smaller driver (8") than the woofers in my fronts and no larger or smaller than the ones in my surround channels! But, for $50, it was well worth it.
