subwoofers

I love a lot of bass so I purchased two of these for my system!
The subterranean lows that you get from dvd's with a lot of action and explosions is simply phenomenal! As the previous reviewer stated the cable makes all of the difference. Although it is somewhat expensive, I used Kimber Cable to hook up my subs to the Pioneer vsx-45tx receiver that is controlling my system. I couldn't be happier!

Have been using this excellent product for less than a month, but I think it's a great choice. I connected the S120PII with a Transparent Cable Link 200 cable after hearing and reading about complaints concerning subwoofer buzz and hum. As a side note, I would recommend getting a good cable. I say this after upgrading the Monster cables to my front speaker pair with something called Synergistic Research. The improvement was immediate; an extended audio image and larger bass notes (without subwoofer).

Anyways, my receiver only sends frequencies under 100Hz to the sub; so when I first listen to the sub, I momentarily thought the sub was defective. The cable and sub combination puts out tight and very clean sound.

After playing with the level control, I realized the low frequencies were there. I didn't have it very loud at this point and at lower volumes, frequencies under 100Hz seem to contribute more to audio imaging than to a louder bass presence. I later did the wall shaking drill; with 400 watts, this sub does a nice job of it.

The directionality of the bass notes from the sub will depend on the frequencies sent to it. According to tech literature, somewhere between 80 to 100Hz the location of the LFE speaker will become slightly evident at higher volume levels. At 100Hz, I did not detect any obvious directionality.

This is a great subwoofer. Invest in good wire; you will not be disappointed.
