Snell Sub 550?? Any experience?

I have a chance to get a Snell unpowered 12" subwoofer for under $200. Should I do it?
My main speakers are Snell E.5, and I'd love just a little more bottom end for on movies. I am not in the market for a sub but when I saw this I was very intrigued. I'd love a nice musical sub, but it should obviously be capable of getting below what my E.5's can put out.
Any comments apprieciated.

I owned 2 of the Snell Sub 550 THX. They had the 12" Peerless driver. They worked better than anything else I tried to mate with my Magnepan 3.3Rs. I never tried them in video. The sealed box is definitely musical & fast. I used a Sumo Delilah crossover & ran my Maggies full-range.
On the Braveheart soundtrack, these subs were very, very impressive. They sounded better with the woofer amps NOT bridged, (Adcom 555II or Parasound HCA 1200II).
