Condo Dweller's Delight

When you live in a condo, you have to limit the power of your speaker system. I got smaller speakers for my stereo and was missing the lower tones. (Even my Klispch Ipod player was producing much better bass.) Finally, I found this subwoofer. It is smaller than most I've seen, and it really reproduces the bass well. My music sounds great and my movies play great in DD 5.1. So far, I haven't gotten complaints from the neighbors. Two of its standard features are also helpful: you can decide where its cutoff frequency and at what volume it plays. Using my Klipsch IPOD player as a guide, I was able to set the subwoofer.

Terrific performance

For my front speakers I have a pair of Infinity Reference towers, maybe 6 years old, each of which contains a 50-watt side-firing subwoofer. The speakers sound great for music and most movies, but those subwoofers aren't powerful enough for the really deep and loud effects on blow-'em-up DVDs: if I turn the subwoofers' gain high enough to shake the floor even a little, the protection circuits cause them to cut out on the loudest effects -- just when I need them the most. This appears to do no harm to the subwoofers, but it's disconcerting to say the least. So I knew I needed more (MORE BASS! MORE VOLUME!!), and this well-reviewed Sony seemed like just the ticket.

And indeed it is: With the gain at 1/3, or maybe a little higher, and the rolloff set pretty deep, it adds exactly what I had been missing out of the Infinitys. For bang-bang movies I turn the gain down somewhat on the Infinity subwoofers so they don't cut out when things get real loud, turn up the overall gain out of the receiver (middle-of-the-line Yamaha), and it's pretty much movie-theatre time in my living room. (The signal goes to all three subwoofers from the single subwoofer output on the receiver, using two "Y" splitters connected together to provide a total of three outputs. It works just fine, though it looks silly.) When I first set up the new subwooder and was getting it adjusted, I used the DVD of "Independence Day" as my test, since it has plenty of very loud and very deep effects. It sounded so good that even my wife sat down to watch and listen, doing her usual clutch-my-arm trick at the most exciting parts. She was impressed by the sound, and she's not easy to impress. As a bonus, the new subwoofer also improves music. I tend to listen mostly to classical and bluegrass (a strange combination, but hey), and both sound considerably better now that the new subwoofer is in use.

All in all, seventy-odd dollars VERY well spent -- and Amazon delivered the thing in maybe 3 days, of course in perfect condition, with free shipping and no tax. What could be bad?
