 Yamaha Down-Firing Active Subwoofer April 14, 2010
Jeff
This unit is perfect for a small to medium size area/room. The small foot print makes it easy to place. It is also a good looking unit. Hook up takes only minutes and simple operation. A good buy.

This unit delivers phenomenal performance for the money. In my application, I was constrained by the available space. This unit fit perfectly. It does not have all of the bells and whistles, e.g., remote control, but don't let that stop you. It matches very well to Vizio sound bar that I have. It's quality of sound is very good.

I was initially skeptical that a sub this small could produce the chest-thumping bass I craved with movies. But the Yamaha fit into the space where I had room, and I went for it.
Setup was a piece of cake. For some reason my Yamaha A/V reciever didn't have a place to hook the system connector (or at least I couldn't find it). I was disappointed. But as far as I know all that connection does is turn the subwoofer power on and off automatically with the receiver. I accomplished the same thing by plugging the subwoofer's power cord into the switched outlet on the back of my receiver.
For most of my listening to TV and movies, the subwoofer doesn't kick in because it doesn't need to. But when I put the Master and Commander DVD in my Blu-Ray player and cranked up the volume to a low-moderate level, my wife reported she felt the floor shaking at the opposite end of the house. There was absolutely no question that I had some new sounds.
My only wish is that this had a setting to adjust the low-pass filter so I could fine tune it with my main speakers. But I'm not at all sure I could improve the sound by doing that. It seems to work seamlessly.
In short, if space and budget are tight and you have only a modest listening area, this Yamaha does the job and does it without any drama. (Drama supplied by your movies and music.)
Great look, Great sound! February 26, 2010

Using this subwoofer with a Pioneer receiver with a center speaker and two front speakers. It adds great bass to music, movies, and TV. Easy to use, plug in and turn on. Looks great and is not massive in size.

Purchased this as a function of an audio upgrade to my home theatre system. In that this is just a subwoofer, there's not much to say other than it's appearance is pleasing, it has excellent form and fit... and it adds all the punch I was looking for. The choice of using this particular subwoofer was motivated by the fact that the main sound compnonts are also Yamaha. Integrating this subwoofer into the system is therefore seamless, i.e. when the entire system is powered down, the subwoofer power is also powered down.
