Review 1 of 46
Price Paid:
$325.00
from From A Friend Summary:
I received this subwoofer about 1 week ago and all I can say is WOW
I am using it for Stereo Sound only. I am using a Red Rose Music Passion Integrated Amplifier with the B&W DM600S Bookshelf speakers. I have used alot fo subwoofers before, but so far this one was the best for 2 channel music.
It sounds very natural, it hits hard, and is amazing. I only have it at a quarter in volume, and it shakes my room, but it stays very clean at the same time.
I would recommend this sub for anyone. Strengths:
Very Clean Powerful Bass
The Build quality is superb
The Woofer is amazing
Weaknesses:
None so far Similar Products Used:
Definitive Technology Supercube I
Definitive Technology PF 15
Definitive Technology TL100
JBL 10 inch

Review 2 of 46
Price Paid:
$0.00
from Audiogon Summary:
I took this on trade for some other equipment not expecting much. I was pleasantly suprised at how well it performs. I have had a number of Subs over the years and the only one that I have kept is the 12 year old M&K MX 5000 that still hasn't been beaten......yet. The B&W is a very nice piece, particularly at used market prices. Strengths:
Clean, detailed, and articulate. They have spent the money where it counts. Weaknesses:
Very few if any. A little sensitive to placement to eliminate boominess. Similar Products Used:
M&K MX 100, 125, 200, & 5000. TrueSubwoofer Signature & Jr.
HSU Research VF, TN 1225 & 1220
Various "Kits" Vance Dickason, Titan, Homegrown to name a few.
Bag End and a number of Velodyne

Review 3 of 46
Price Paid:
$200.00
from through "connections Summary:
We know someone who works for B&W, so we can get discounts on anything from them. Out of all of the subwoofers to choose from, and none overpriced with the discounts, our friend, who lives to improve sound quality, recommended this one. The first thing we did with it was watch Saving Private Ryan, and the thing shook the whole house with every grenade. Not only could it get loud enough to do more than please us, but the sound was not raspy or broken up like many other subwoofers I've heard. This was absolutely perfect and clear, and blended really well with the whole system. Strengths:
Clarity, strength, and everything else you want in a subwoofer. Weaknesses:
Shook the upstairs floor, much yelling from my mom. Similar Products Used:
None, after hearing this I'll never go with anything else.

Review 4 of 46
Price Paid:
$0.00 Summary:
Have listened to this sub for about 2 to 3 years with my home theater and I am very pleased with it, it's a mighty performer for it's price class. It's not the easiest sub to setup, since it's very sensitive to positioning. I found that the best position in my listening room is at the corner (which is weird..) behind the front speakers. I've been thinking of getting rid of it because sometimes it has felt a little boomy, but all that changed a couple of days ago when I decided to get rid of my old receiver (Onkyo TX-DS575) and got a Pioneer THX certified one to do it's job, now the sub has really started to perform and it blends very well to the overall image produced by B&W 601-S2 front speakers, a CC6-S2 center and DS6-S2 surrounds. Love it. Strengths:
Loud. Very loud. Shakes my apartments like nothing else. Seamles integration to my B&W speakers when set up correctly. Very nice for home theater. Weaknesses:
Quite difficult to setup, sensitive to positioning and quite big. Similar Products Used:
Paradigm PS 1200
Audio Pro B1.35
Jamo D7SUB

Review 5 of 46
Price Paid:
$0.00 Summary:
I am running this sub off a SONY STRDA50 ES which i find very is a little bass heavy to use with this sub( sub gain on quarter and sub output level set to -10 which is minumum). I find this sub to give out enough bass to shake your house off it's foundations. Like in other reviews room position is critical only a relative small position change can produce drastic changes in tonal accuracy and response. I can recommend this sub for movies but if you are listening to music and you really love tight bass i would probably steer clear of this 12" probably in favour of an 8" or 10". Strengths:
Enough bass to shake out of your chair.
Good accuracy for a ported 12"
Plenty of power. Weaknesses:
Can be difficult to control when using some japanese and american amps. Similar Products Used:
SONY STRDA50ES
Jamo Prestige 90
