I agree. I do not like the cone cry, tonality, and resonance of the cones on W7s.W7s are LOUD but best is a relative statement. I like clarity over quantity and subwoofers that create music not sheer noise.
I'll take a GTi (or several other subs) over a W7 anyday for sound quality. I like a speaker you can't hear playing.<think about that 3 times>
I'd take a Ti12D elite over a w7 for the same output and sound quality with a lower price.
