How about getting the Behringer B2092a subwoofer for the next round of tests Illka? Dual 8"s, 350watt amp and 73lbs for about $250. I've heard one and thought it sounded pretty decent with music, but we didn't try anything at high volume or with HT. I know it won't have much below 30hz, but it's cheap!
That particular Behringer is available here for 250 EUR (around ~$370), but I'm not sure how many people would be interested in it? I usually try to test subwoofers that are popular among potential subwoofer buyers (or already owners).

Also, all of the Elemental Designs subwoofers are 220v compatible. Any plans to test one of them?
Yes, possibly. There are a few issues though. At the moment all of their HT subwoofers have a 6 to 8 week lead time, which isn't a good thing when the subwoofer has to ship to Finland too. Also there is the money issue. No matter how much fun would it be, I can't just go out and buy and test every subwoofer that people or myself want. I simply don't have that kind of money when noticing how much money and time these tests take already in their current state. So therefore I have to limit my testing mostly on subwoofers that either the end-users or the subwoofer manufacturers can lend me (or people donate towards the subwoofers like with the DIY drivers). And unfortunately at the moment neither will happen when it comes to the eD subs.
