Only had them a few days but haven't experienced the sub issue.

Initially I set them up with a DVD (opening scene of House of the Flying Daggers with the drums and pebbles) and the sound was fantastic.

Then stuck a CD in and it was more than adequate for my ears - also got an AirPortExpress set up into the back of the Amp and that sounded pretty good to me.

If you do get them go for the black ones with the high gloss stands unless you have a burning desire for silver, as in my opinion the black look so much better
