Silent Subwoofers ie: Buttkicker -your thoughts?


I am a huge movie fan, and have finally completed my theatre room. I have one final question, does anyone out there have any experience with the 'silent subwoofers' such as the Buttkicker made by Berkline. They are generally used to mount to a chair or couch and shake without making any noise. Their purpose is to make your couch feel like it is rumbling when a volcano erupts or when a building blows up.

Are these things for real or are they cheap gimicks that are useless???

It felt to me like the imax theatre at jordan's in massachusetts was using somethign like this. the seats would shake a lot, often when there was no associated bass sound, and the time was slightly off. i was with a bunch of people, none of whom are audiophiles. none of them noticed, but i didn't like it. -dave
