Yamaha YST-SW315 10" 250 Watt Powered Subwoofer

A good value for the investment. Look no further for...

Strengths: Good value. As far as subs go, this one is quite "musical" i.e., audiophiles use the term to describe good dynamic range and response rather than thump thump thump

Weakness: None really.

Look no further for a foundational element to your music listening and AV surround system. I use the Yamaha primarily for music listening. It's accurate and with good crossover control - does not flood your existing setup with muddy low end noise if you set it up properly.

Yamaha YST-SW315 rocks!

Strengths: Very musical. Easily tailored to suit most any application. Terrific for filling in the bass lines that are sometimes lost in large areas.

Weakness: None that I have found yet.

Although I already had 2 Phase Linear 400's pushing Kenwood 999Z's times four, the room was large, (18 by 30) and I was looking to add some additional air pressure. This sub did the trick. You can adjust it to only hit on the lowest frequencies and then how hard to hit them as well. Power on/off standby works flawlessly. Now I can listen at a much lower level. Before the sub, I had to bring up...

Yamaha YST-SW315 Subwoofer

Strengths: Very nice throaty tones. Good feature set for the money.

Weakness: None noted.

I like the Standby Mode feature. Prevents from having to turn the power switch completely off. Also, you can see the status light from a distance and are able to determine when the system detects a signal.

Strengths: Non-distorted DEEP bass.

Weakness: None, for the price.

I compared this item to all other units in it's price range before buying. I never listened to any subs before buying, but researched many reviews online. I ordered it from etronics whithout ever hearing the unit. This sub sounds INCREDIBLE for the price, and is probably worth double what I paid for it! I've owned 2 subs before, an M&K 10 inch from 1989, and and AudioSource 10 inch that' about 5...

Yamaha YST-SW315 10" 250 Watt Powered Subwoofer

Strengths: One word "AWESOME". Low down, DEEEEEEP bass that you can feel.

Weakness: NONE!

Outperforms all sub's in its price range. And some at double the price. Compare other subs in this price range and above then listen to the 315. No one else gives you this performance at this price level. Deep, loud, and clear bass you can feel.

Yamaha YST-SW315 10" 250 Watt Powered Subwoofer

Strengths: Powerful, good price for money, looks nice.

Weakness: none really.

It may be just me but I cant tell the difference when i change the phase from "norm" or "rev". I dont know what it does though. I like the high cut adjuster, sews the gap of low frequencies with my other surround speakers nicely. AWESOME when the THX part comes up in movies!!! nice frequency range that goes to the limit of human hearing. A must have for a good, full audio experience.

Great subwoofer

Strengths: Adds floor-shaking bass tones to music and especially to DVD's

Weakness: Doesn't shake floors in other rooms. Manual does not specify what kind of cable would be best for hook-up. Refers to "pin cable", which I assumed is RCA.

I've enjoyed owning this subwoofer. It adds a bottom end to the soundtrack on DVD's and on CD's. It's a relatively inexpensive addition to my Yamaha RX-V2500 surround sound receiver and I got it for 40% of the price that I saw most subwoofers in the store.-

Yamaha YST-SW315 10" 250 Watt Powered Subwoofer

Strengths: Excellent

Weakness: Not yet

If you like a heavy bass, don't buy it. If you like soft music, it is an excellent subwoofer. The bass sound is fair enough for you to enjoy another sounds.

Excellent Sub

Strengths: Exceptional clarity, features, and packaging. This is an awsome sub, even compared to subs costing 4-5 times as much. I have had a number of different subs and can attest to its performance for medium

Weakness: None, unless you want a direct input n input that bypasses the high-cut filter altogether.

If you are looking for high-end performance and want to maximize your investment, this is the sub for you. This is ideal for medium-to-large sized rooms, has exceoptional clarity, and is relatively inexpensive.
