from Leon's Summary:
This sub is quite the addition to my system which consists of 2 AR-4x's a Technics SA-AX540 receiver, and a Technics SL-PD5 CD player. I was looking for a subwoofer with tremendous power and one that was a good bang for the buck. I was originally looking at Acoustic research ARS-500 sub but the price was a little out of my league and AR is nowhere to be found in Ottawa. So I looked at other promising brands such as JBL, Boston Acoustics, Velodyne, Bob Carver, and Cerwin. In terms of bang for buck the HT-S15A is definitely the best. Granted the subwoofer doesn't like frequencies above 90hz when the volume is turned to full but what can you expect from a sub in this price range. It's range at regular listening levels is exemplary. It has really deep bass, I'd be willing to bet lower than the 42hz indicated on the crossover nob. The only complaint I have is at high amplification the subs back panel rattles. It's probably just a loose screw but none the less it can get quite annoying. In the next 6 months or so i hope to purchase a 200 watt center channel, and two 400 watt towers and possibly upgrade my receiver to the Denon AVR-5803 receiver to better handle the massive amounts of power required by the other four units. Strengths:
Very deep rich bass. Loads of power Weaknesses:
Rear plat rattle, high volume distortion from 90-120 Hz Similar Products Used:
Energy sub
