I wanted a small subwoofer that would tuck away nicely under my computer desk-one that would provide good output without costing me an arm and a leg. A man's gotta have some tunes if he wants to get his work done! The sub would be mated with a small pair of TM satellites that have yet to magically spring from my computer-designed concept and into an actual speaker. When I figure out how to make that happen, I will happily retire-an eccentric and filthy-rich man.

I wasn't too worried about the range from 30Hz and lower because this is a music machine. I can count on one hand how many movies I have watched on a computer. No sense going for all out bottom octave performance when it's not going to be utilized.
