I have ML Odyssey speakers. I've tried several subs and am finally thrilled with my Talon Roc 2002. This is, by far, the most musical sounding sub around (IMO). My listening area is about 15X18 with a 15 foot cathedral ceiling. I have placed the sub in the corner of an attached dining area about 12 feet away from the center of my listening area (where the ceiling drops to 8 feet). You would never know how far away the sub is in relation to the main speakers. The blend with the ML is seamless. In fact, a friend insisted the sub wasn't even on and that the sound was coming from the ML's. I then turned off the sub and there was absolutely no doubt where that bass was generating from. Its truly unbelievable. It is a very fast sub. I use audio and video about 50/50 so I wanted something that could handle the demands of theater but remain musical and warm when listening to audio. Also, you won't need two of these (its 1000 watts). I probably have the volumn notched at a little over one (with ten being max). This thing will roar if you let it! Good luck with your search.
