It was 20 dollars cheaper 2 days later. I did have a problem with the price. so if not in a hurry check prices for a couple days.D.Rooster great sound. fast shipping. I call to complain but when I went back to check the price was 10 dollars more.
most home theater systems, but tends to be a bit boomey and too directionally focused. This one works well in low to mid-fi situations,i.e. It does, however, fill the low end (as it should) and can play fairly loud without breaking up too badly. This sub woofer replaced one, from another manufacturer, that I used for 10 years that suddenly just gave up the ghost. Considering the cost of this new sub woofer I'd have to say it works quite well, but if you are looking for a serious/audiophile sub look elsewhere. Even when I aim it in different directions you can tell where it's located and in which direction it's aimed.
Recalibrate your system if necessary. Turn the filter to high as indicated in the instructions, and then adjust the volume while listening to some music with good bass. I'm satisfied. Although the instructions were not exceptionally clear, the speaker connected easily and performed to my satisfaction. Both music and movie sound is enhanced in my new 5.1 system.As advertised, the Polk comes on and shuts off automatically. Good music sound, good movie rumble.
Even with low volume setting, the subwoofer provides appropriate bass notes -- like James Earl Jones talking softly. Be sure to turn the knob on back of speaker to lower setting, unless you want an immediate visit from your neighbors. Cabinet is beautiful.
Surprisingly good performance for 100 bucks. With 50 watts, it has limited dynamics, so HT use is limited to low power systems. Compact, attractive and appears well made. You could pair it with other small monitors for a nice budget music system. The SW-10 is decently musical with no fatiguing thump- adjusted correctly and operated within its limits. Its able to fill a small room and has decent LF extension. I'm using it with AudioEngine A5 powered monitors; the Polk adds a nice solid bottom and it blends smoothly.
