Patience pays off..... Jan 07, 2009
I've been shopping for the right deal on the Polk PSW505 for about a year. I got a great price, very fast shipping and customer service contacted me before, during and after my order arrived. Sub is perfect for my larger-sized theater room.
This is it!! Jan 06, 2009
This sub is well built. The bass produced by this beast is simply ridiculous. This sub will rattle your windows and upset your neighbors. Just sick!!!
OUTSTANDING Subwoofer for the Money. Wow! Jan 06, 2009
I have this fantastic Polk subwoofer paired with audiophile-caliber KEF Five-Two 11 speakers, and my home theater sounds incredible. The bass is stunning.
This Polk subwoofer cleanly shakes the house during action scenes. (I am careful that the subwoofer is not turned-up too high, because too much bass ruins the sound with unintelligible muddiness.) You can feel the sound waves of this 12" beast. During Star Wars I, the bass rumbled an upstairs bedroom with the door closed. The low bass guitar in U2's song "Please" sounded superb - a tough test. This subwoofer can go real low if you have it positioned right.
I am shocked that a subwoofer can sound this for under $300, which is what I paid. It is a shocking bargain.
Now to nitpick: It could use more definition and precise clarity, which is why it does not cost $1,100. The driver is surrounded by Styrofoam, which means it will last only a few years. Also, high-end satellite systems (with small drivers) ideally could use a subwoofer with a higher extension, such as to 200 HZ. This subwooder is flat up to around 150 HZ and down to about 30 HZ (or maybe 25 with correct positioning).
If under-$400 is your price range, than I highly recommend this subwoofer. If you can afford to spend $800 for better quality, such as KEF, than do so. Otherwise, this subwoofer is incredible for the price and a terrific performer.

 If it sounds good; enjoy it! Dec 30, 2008
I'm not technically sophisticated enough to really critique this powered subwoffer; however, I like deep and distinctive bass sounds and this one provides that. For those people like me - looking for a speaker that sounds good - I would recommend it.

Excellent bass reproduction Dec 22, 2008
Excellent bass reproduction on movies. I have not used it on music very much yet, but initial impression is that it does well on bass instruments in tunes where these have been mixed in well. I have a fairly large room (~20'x18') where I have placed the sub woofer and the unit provides more than adequate power for the room.

Consumer Reports Says Buy Your HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (October 31, 2008) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2007 and June 2008. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its December 2008 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com and Crutchfield.com came closest.
