Now is the time to buy it!
I discovered on another forum that there's a group buy going on for the SMS-1. Retails for $749, but group buy for only $499 w/ shipping included!!! Which is certainly much cheaper than these SMS1s go for on audiogon even!
Here is the link.. and if any of you are on the fence for one, buy now... worry later! Besides, you can turn it around for profit if you change your mind.

Basically, this is an EQ for infrasonic frequencies... and allows for instant room correction.

Excerpt from Stereophile (Kal Rubinson):
Finally, while in the past I've advocated running the main left, right, and center speakers full-range, I'm changing my view. Whether running two, three, four, or five channels, the overall musical balance is superior with all the low bass running through the sub and the SMS-1, as that part of the response is flat. Until now, I have not even felt much need for a subwoofer in my New York City system with either the Revel Studio or the B&W 802D speakers. Even systems based on such large speakers should greatly benefit from the addition of an SMS-1 and subwoofer—not to extend in-room frequency response, but to linearize and flatten the bass, something that's nearly impossible to accomplish without sacrificing these speakers' overall balance and imaging capabilities. Gotta try that!

I figure that all who already know about this product probably already purchased one.. I figured I'd post some more info on this device for all those who haven't heard about the SMS-1. Enjoy guys.
