- This product didn't exactly blow my socks off, but it adds a nice deep sound to my music and movies. I picked this unit because of its relaively thin size. I have a small space between my entertainment cabinet and the wall that it just slips into perfectly, so I don't have to put it on top of the cabinet. If you are looking for theatre quality booming sound, this might not be for you. But if you need a slim, low priced unit to complement your lower end system, this should work out well for you.
- I gave this woofer a 5 star rating just because it is what it is: an inexpensive, no frills but solid performer. My living area is average size and with my 'Visio' 3-D sound bar it works great. Other reviewers have called it boomy, and it can be at higher audio levels, but for watching flicks and action t.v. shows it does great at even under 50%.I haven't used it yet with my i-pod dock but I can see where it may distort the low end sound some, but for the bucks you can't beat this 'Yamaha'. As for it having to be turned off manually, it's not a big deal for me. I mostly use it for flicks like I said before, so it will be off for the news and game shows etc...Even in this age of remote control…
