The Buttkicker BK-LFE in conjunction with your subwoofer really helps to create an immersive experience when watching movies with a good LFE sound tracks. I'm really addicted to the effect now, watching an action or sci-fi flick without a Buttkicker would be like watching the movie on a 2734; screen. There are three sizes of Buttkickers, the BK-LFE is the largest size. If you have a powerful subwoofer, you really need the largest Buttkicker to go with it. However, I found that the LFE tracks in newer movies (Star Wars VII, VIII, Mad Max Fury Road, etc) have a wider dynamic range than older movies, and the loudest passages can cause the Buttkicker to 34;bottom out34; and it sounds like an impact wrench when it hits the stops. This doesn't happen very often, but unfortunately, it often coincides with very intense scenes (Kylo Ren interrogating Rey in Star Wars VII, first 30 minutes of Mad Max), and it can cause you to drop out of the 34;suspension of disbelief34; key moments in the movie. To that end, I am using two Buttkicker BK-LFE's on my sofa, and the effect is absolutely fantastic, intense shaking with no unwanted rattling. You are really there.
