Low and Tight : Polk Audio PSW505 12-Inch Powered Subwoofer (Single, Black)
I have been in the process of gradually replacing my speakers, going from an old set of approved 3-way Altec Lansings (w/Bose surround satellites and a Boston Acoustic center channel) to an all-Polk Audio 5.1 configuration. Over the last few months, I purchased a set of Polk Audio Rti A7s for my fronts, a Polk Audio Csi A6 center Channel, and a pair of Polk Audio Rti A3s which serve as rears. The new speakers offer great clarity and response across the mid- and high-range (they are all voice matched so it sounds great) but they are a bit lacking in terms of bass as compared with the old Altecs, which featured a 12" woofer and a lower -3db limit of ~30Hz, rendering a subwoofer unnecessary. I needed that itsybitsy super low-end "thump" I used to have (the A7s, the most responsive speakers I own at the low-end of the sound spectrum, have a lower -3db limit of 35Hz), and after reading the reviews here this sub seemed like the best compound of operation and value. I purchased this item from Amazon and it arrived in 3 days' time. Plugged it in and all I can say is wow. I have a medium-sized room, and this product has no problem providing the low-end bass I need without breaking a sweat. The Psw505 is self-amplified, and I have it set at less than half of max volume. At its current setting it is more than suitable. When I crank it up, it makes the whole room shake, and beyond doubt rattles my teeth.
The Psw505 features level control, phase control, adjustable crossover setting (from 60Hz to 125Hz) as well as a standby switch and the quality to manually turn it on or off or set it to auto, which automatically looks for a signal and if it doesn't find one shuts the sub off within 15 minutes. You can hook it up using dual inputs (banana plug capable), unfiltered Lfe, or filtered line-level input, which I am using. The item looks sharp too, with a sleek black wood-grain finish, a silver front faceplate, polymer composite cone, and a stylish dark grey molded grill to direct the bass to the listening area. It's also magnetically shielded so it won't influence other around A/V components if it's front-placed, like mine is. The quality and craftsmanship are clear even before plugging it in.
Tooth-rattling notwithstanding, the bass is extremely clear, with very safe bet bass gravidity for both music (plucked strings, bass notes) and entertainment (booming bass for those Hollywood blockbusters). I have not been able to push it to the point of distortion, even at max volume it beyond doubt handles the load (Running on a Yamaha Rx-V1800 with a Ps3 handling the Bluray/Dvd/Sacd duty). I am wholly satisfied and would suggest this sub to anyone with a high-performance system and the valuable space. At this price you can't go wrong with this item, as you can scale it to any size room you need short of a concert hall. I don't see myself needing to replace this item for a very long time, if ever. Highest recommendation.
