i own vandersteen sign. speakers and use the 2wq sub. and added a second and the difference was stunning. the midrange and highs were much clearer and open. the vandersteen Q is a great musical sub not designed for video but music only the w is for video. it uses a different crossover which you have to use seperates. the crossover is put between the preamp out and input of the amp. crossing over is done at the imput of the amp. matching the amp. impedance....hope i explained it ok....the vandersteen sub works well with other speakers, i have a neighbor uses it with magnapan speakers and i have heard it with others and it does very well...around eight or nine hundred on gon ...great subs....hope it works out
