Review 1 of 5

Price Paid:  $200.00 from Ultimate Electronics

Summary:
I was never one for liking subs. But at the incessant nagging of a friend who insisted that a sub would do wonders for my bass, I decided to buy one. Knowing nothing about subs other than most of them sounded boomy, I had to trust the salesman (I must have had too much to drink that night) to tell me which one would sound the best with the equipment that I had, and wouldn't cost me a fortune. I ended up taking this model home. I regreted it ever since. No matter how much I adjusted the controls, it sounded horrendously boomy and distorted easily. The only way I could stand to listen to it was to turn it down to the point where I had to be standing right next to it in order to hear it. I fiddled with it for months figuring that it had to sound better than that. I finally gave up and sold it to a guy at work for $50. That was enough for me to decide not to buy anything made by Infinity again, and I haven't bought another subwoofer since.

Strengths:
None.

Weaknesses:
The entire unit.

Similar Products Used:

Review 2 of 5

Summary:
this was the first powered sub i bought and was quite unhappy with it. my friend had a jbl psw1000 and it was louder than mine not to mension cheaper. it would probably be fine for movies (only) but this thing is a turd. i blew 2 of them before if figured out they suck. then i got a jbl psw1200 which hit much harder and never got distorted, great sub for the money. if you like your music loud don't buy this thing. finally i moved up to a veledyne sub, if you have the money go with this one, i've never heard bass like this in a home sterio. bottom line the BU-2 is a peace of crap

Strengths:
sounds decent at low volumes, looks kinda nice

Weaknesses:
can't handle above average volumes, distorts easily, ...

Similar Products Used:
jbl psw1200, velodyne 12

Review 3 of 5

Summary:
This is a great subwoofer. And well worth it for the $200 i paid. It doesnt go as low as some other subs advertise, but it remains sharp and clear until the end. stylish looking, and down-firing sub is definitely the way to go.

Review 4 of 5

Summary:
I had forgotten that I had bought the Infinity BU-2. Actually I forgot to post my reveiew on this site. for what I paid for the sub the price is superb round 222 dollars from netmarket. I have heard the Velodynes, Boston Acoustics, B & W's Definitive Technologies, and a few others and the Infinity is up to the challenge of subs costing 2 to 3x's as much. Course it doesn't compare to the 15 inch velodyne that costs more than my old car. I had been working at a high end Auidio Video Retailer for the past six months and trust me when I say that I have heard it all. from the 10 k B&W's to the Entry level Boston Acoustics.. Its a shame that where I work they don't carry Infinity, its too bad when a company is more interested in Profit Margains than quality. That is why I am not saying where I worked.
The rest of my setup are for the front INfinity 2000.6's for the front and the Rears are the 2000.5's and the Reciever will be the Str Da555es I sold my other sony ( str da 915 which I loved to a good friend)


Allin all I give it 4 stars.. it could use a beefier AMP.. which the new one has addressed ohh well. Im fine.

Review 5 of 5

Summary:
Yes! pick them up on close out Sale, for $300 a pair. I'am having so much fun tweaking them. I replace the orignal woofer and acustic faom stuffing .
So much for the booming, it play lots deeper cleaner when runing in pairs. Each rear coner "GOD HELP US, I first bought them for my rear suround effect channle. But sounded so clean , I'am thinking to running it up to main front,and my old ULD 12 to back surround instead, I was stun how good they do with music! Compair to my old ULD Sub! They also need to be broken in more I think. Can belive that pay $300 for them.
I give 3 star for built and qulity, But I have give it 5 star for the $ price and the most funnest $300 I ever spent

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
