People responded because of the sensationalistic original post. You called the 
system "elite" and "high line" (good thing you didn't say "high-end"--you 
would have really gotten chewed up :-) when most people on rec.audio know that 
this system is positioned as low to mid-fi equipment.

Furthermore, a 5 1/2" driver barely qualifies as a woofer, let alone a 
"subwoofer." Most 3-piece manufacturers smartly advertise their 3rd piece 
as a "bass module" instead.

Sell the system for what it is: a budget buy.

Incidentally, I heard the one you are referring to--not the Damark version. I 
was not impressed, and would recommend NHT Superzeros, bottom of the line 
Boston Acoustics, or Celestion 1s instead. But that's just IMHO.
