🎧 Yamaha NS-SW050BL 8-Inch 100W Powered Subwoofer in Black for Enhanced Sound Experience Review

I received this Yamaha NS-SW050BL subwoofer today. Connected, system calibrated, tested. This is a fantastic little subwoofer for my space (about 15ft x 30ft).

Anyway, I'll tell you the details about it. Performance: This little subwoofer is really good for its size. In my experience, I had to lower the subwoofer level of my receiver (Yamaha RX-461) several times when listening to music and watching movies. Even at night at low volume. It doesn't have a crossover frequency
