Review 1 of 16

Price Paid:  $395.00 from ebay

Summary:
Well, after owning this sub, I would say for the price and what not, it blows away any other sub in the price range. The only comparable sub i find to this one is the ksw 10 or the ksw12, the velodine 8'' is ok as well. The ksw series by klipsch though have had fualty fuses and blow and people have been having problems with them, and then there is the fact that they distort at about 90 dB of sound on a 50 watt receiver. That is weak. The vel is so small and it does sound good but doesn't have much punch. The infinity has tight clean bass, and it is a very fast moving sub, and I have not been able to make it distort at normal operating conditions, i have maxed out the volume on the receiver that it is hooked up too and it did not distort, the level was about half way on the sub. As for the amp rattling, i don't think so, amps don't rattle...... the infinity utilizes and an fet transistor amp in a push pull configuration and and it is mount to the sub box itself and then screwed into place. Maybe the grill rattled after you put it on and off every 5 min and the plastic wears out. This sub for under 500 is most liklley the best brand new in box sub money can buy

Strengths:
good price, tight fast bass, nice looking, good make, decent brand, high efficiency

Weaknesses:
plastic mounting plate on front, sensitive to static electricity, low distortion

Review 2 of 16

Price Paid:  $329.00 from ebay

Summary:
I am totally surprised with the performance of this sub. I thought I'd need a 12 but the 10 has no problem at all providing all the low end I need. I had to change the placement of the sub a few times before I got good frequency response out of it at my main listening location; but that would have to be done for any sub. I can't wait to get the bass optimization kit to move the performance of this sub up to a whole new level.

Strengths:
Nice, clean bass. The bass optimization system. Best value for the money of any sub that i've listened to.

Weaknesses:
Feet should be a little bit more rubbery so that it could stay in place on smooth floors

Review 3 of 16

Price Paid:  $325.00 from Ebay

Summary:
Guys come on! This little guy absolutely thumps! If you look at the reviews on the Sony SAW-M40 it has more reviews than any other sub on this site and rates very high! I agree the Sony (for the price) is a great sub! But when I hooked up the Infinity... It blew me away. No Bob Carver didnt make it but so.

Strengths:
Your guess by looking at it is probably, no way can that little 10"in hum. JUST TRY IT!

Weaknesses:
ABSOLUTELY NONE!

Similar Products Used:
Sony SAW-M40, Velodyne, Klipsch, other older Infinity's, Sunfire (3 weeks),Yamaha, BW, Boston Acoustics, Sonus Faber(best sub I ever heard)many others.

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

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.
