Best product I have ever reviewed, I recommend it to everyone!

I got it on sale for 10 cheaper than the original price. The subwoofer is included in the system, in which the Onkyo R-N855 is also used + HECO Celan Revolution 3 + Parasound Zamp v.3. Needed to support bass when working at low and low volume in a room of about 20 m2. The best sound, in my opinion, was obtained when connected with an acoustic wire from the amplifier. A very useful auto-on/off feature from a 12v trigger. With the help of such triggers, I combined all the devices of the system…

Pros
  • 1. sound 2. compact size 3. a rich set of adjustments and connection methods (I have not seen such a set anywhere else) 4. the presence of a trigger 12v auto-on / off 5. set of spikes and rubber hemispherical supports (M6) 6. front speaker location (important for listening to music)
Cons
  • 1. not massive enough - it vibrates strongly and crawls with powerful bass along the axis of movement of the speaker (back and forth)

Great value for the money, definitely recommended!

Especially looking for shelf speakers to listen to music. I'm happy as an elephant, before that it was home-made twice as large and with a phase inverter (the diagram is here: ), this one is a cut above. And easier with accommodation. By the way, look for a cutoff frequency of 23 hertz. Yes, and in the future Icomnsider the option with two, as in the review above.

Pros
  • Small, but remote, a lot of connections and use cases. Its trick is that you can listen with bass at a low volume, when you set it up, the same loudness. It's just fire, the neighbors are relaxing, you don't need to turn up the volume on the bookshelves to hear the bass.
Cons
  • Not yet, though the price is too high, but with our course it is always so.

Beyond praise! The product definitely deserves your attention.

took with hands for 18t. fit on the computer table, does not interfere with anything. I give 4 stars for the sound quality, as there are better for the appearance, too, put 4 are more beautiful the sound suits 100% I will not change to another

Pros
  • Great bass for such a small size! all necessary settings are available. perfect functionality - once turned on, set the sound and forgot! no further action required! where you need it comes to life instantly without any clicks perfect!
Cons
  • There is not

Excellent product, the best quality.

Sounds great. I listened with pleasure to any rock classics. And not bad with modern electronics. In general, I am satisfied with the purchase, then if only everything is changed together, including the team. Got pros: Great sound. Collected, legible and very musical. I took DALI Zensor 1AX to the shelves for a square room of 9 square meters. meters for music. Many settings, two types of input, automatic inclusion. With its cons: There is no remote, but probably in the future it will not be…

Wonderful quality, one hundred percent satisfied!

Bought as an addition to B&W 705 bookshelf speakers for home theater use, but found to be a great addition to a stereo pair as well. Has pros: 1) Dynamic, deep bass (for a room up to 20 sqm) 2) A large number of connection options and settings, including setting the cutoff frequency, sound level, automatic on / off. Has cons: 1) Price. Real should not exceed 15,000. 2) No remote control 3) Not available in cherry color.

I use it with a pair of Wharfedale Evo 22022s. Guests are surprised by the transparency and depth of sound of these small speakers. The subwoofer remains almost invisible. I recommend a similar set of acoustics in terms of cost savings. For example, acoustics Monitor Audio Silver RX8 priced at 60 thousand, which I recently said goodbye to, cannot compete with my kit.

Pros
  • 1. Small size 2. Deep, rich bass, adjustable in frequency and power. 3. Auto turn on/off.
Cons
  • Obviously, the remote control is missing. The appearance would greatly benefit from finishing with, say, polished wood.

What you need, a cool purchase, I advise you.

I took it in addition to the B@W 805 shelf speakers for a room of 22 m2. I set it up and the sub hasn’t warmed up yet, and plus I’m not used to it yet . . the sub played out, warmed up. and. well, it complemented the shelf speakers very well. Some pros: Various connection options and separate adjustment of their levels, many (for a subwoofer) settings. Nice looking, nice finish. Small size, not comparable to the depth of the bass issued by this baby. Spikes and rubber feet included…

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

It sounds good in its place, but finding a place for a sub is not empty talk, like warming up the wires. The sound is different in different parts of the room. Perhaps it can be used in larger rooms, as there is a decent volume margin.

good sound, small size

I have a thing for black and white speakers and I love the way all mine sound. I bought this subwoofer to add a 'fuller' sound to my TV sound system in the basement and now I have 2 subwoofers. I love full, rich sound with two subwoofers!

Pros
  • Big sound in a small space
Cons
  • Style 90

The best subwoofer on the market

I ordered this subwoofer for our main TV room and was given a smaller version to put in the TV cabinet although I was afraid of the door being closed mute the sound, sure not! Incredible sound quality, base, you get the real base of IMAX cinema!

Pros
  • Power Type: Wired Electric
Cons
  • Not as good as it says

Revainrating 4 out of 5

decent subwoofer, the best for home audio

The subwoofer arrived in good condition but unlike my other black and white speakers it was made in China. The sound is quite good and impressive despite the small size of the device. The power controller has on/auto/off options. I turned on "Auto" assuming it would turn on or off automatically in sync with the boost, but that didn't work.

Pros
  • 200w high power class D amplifier
Cons
  • Unusable features

Great little music subwoofer

I live in an apartment and wanted some bass for my bookshelf speakers. This small subwoofer is very musical and very oriental in tune. I use it on my NAD M12 preamp and love it. There's plenty of bass for such a small package. If you want your walls to shake, look elsewhere. If you're looking for punchy, accurate bass in a small package, I'd suggest trying this little powerhouse.

Pros
  • A range of inputs and outputs allows for various installation options
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

It's worth it. - Speakers

The perfect complement to the 607s. I keep the subwoofer volume very low 2 out of 10. I use it in a small room and anything else would be uncomfortable to hear. The bass is not boomy and allows you to clearly hear the details of the vertical bass. Bass drums and timpani resonate and the timbre is precise. I listen to vinyl a lot and don't have to change my turntable to get the sound I want. The main listening options are Jazz, Grateful Dead, Classic Rock and Classic. Ignore the "Made in China"…

Pros
  • Fast, tight, deep bass with 8" speaker
Cons
  • Zero
