Bottom Line: Hello i had a Monitor Audio Radius 360 it was crap. I've also had Rel Q100E it bottomed out so easily absolute garbage. Then i got PV1 for £950 ,what a rip off.You can get much better sub for £450. What hi fi rated it as 5 stars, it should be called what pay off the PV1.It has got not no rummble what so ever ,yes you can hear bass but dont feel anything what so ever. The only thing the PV1 has got going for it is that it is the nicest looking sub out there but all that glitters aint gold.

Bottom Line: Amazing sub and here's why, it's not completely made by B&W, if you take a nice look at the specs it said ICEpower amplifiers, which is created and made by Bang & Olufsen, a Danish company (and far better than B&W) Anyhow the ICEpower amp is what makes it possible for B&W to have a sub as compact as this. Look for all B&W speakers to be outsourced in the near future, they have been manufacturing the majority of their speakers in China the past few years. Sucks to see a good company shut down their R&D and outscource to cheaper companies. There's still some great companies out there! Definitive Technology is the future! check them out! USA too!

Bottom Line: Just purchased 2 PV1's As part of of a B&W home theater combo (XT4, 2 and C). The sound is quite simply fantastic. The mix of the XT4 with the PV1 is as melodic, full ranged and with better dispersion than the significantly more expensive B&W 802. The sound is breathtaking! As a bonus the styling is also a perfect match for our home decor, eclectic modern. Originaly I had ourchased only one sub but found it insufficient to fill our very large (1400 feet) entertainment room satisfactorily. The addition of the second sub was exactly what the "doctor ordered". Its performance in the home theater department is also fabulous, the bass is powerful, tight, deep and utterly transparent. The sound track of the "Lord of the Rings brings you right to the edge of your seat! Listening to the thunder in Grofe's Grand Canyon suite will bring to your eyes!
Caveat Emptor: If you purchase the matching XT4 be prepared to spend a nice chunk of cash on amplification. I originally purchased a Rotel 1067 receiver to drive the system (100watts x 5). It was completely inadequate to drive the XT4 to anything but moderate volumes (big room issue again). I returned the receiver and exchanged it for a Rotel RMB 1095 (200watts x 5) with a matching RSP 1068 surround processor. The result was striking! In my decades of hi fi fandom I still have to hear anything that sounds better regardless of price and definitely nothing in this price range (appx 10K) that sounds remotely close.

Bottom Line: The PV-1 offers a compelling combination of performance and style that seems to be the perfect compliment for today's lifestyle systems. The sub is very easy to integrate into your system and provides very musical bass. The PV-1 may not be ideal for a large room, but is a good match for a smaller family room.
