Subwoofer Reviews

These speakers are definitely classy in look and sound. I've read reviews about Harmon Kardon both good and bad but as far as these speakers go, it far outweighs any bad reviews about other products. I highly recommend these for people who want great sound for a low price and without hassle.

Absolutely thrilled with these speakers...got a great price for a superb product! Easy to set up, huge sound, and classy look. The set up was a no brainer as the five step process is explained with pictures--no words necessary. In addition, the ports and plugs are color coded to make it that much easier. The subwoofer provides a nice boom that rattles your bones without waking the neighbors (I think)!

When I first received these speakers, the speakers themselves seemed really small. But, once I plugged them in, they produced great quality audio. I could blast them up, and it sounded much better than the JBL 2 speaker set I had before.

I use these speakers for movies and mp3s. Although I'm not very picky on audio quality, I'm sure that these speakers would satisfy anyone wanting great audio who isn't a audiophile.

There's one problem I have with these speakers: there's no headphones jack from the speakers.

Other things that you might want to know if you are considering this unit:
Power button is at the back of the subwoofer.
Speakers are light and small; you can knock them over easily.
Bass and Treble controls are on the front of the subwoofer.
Volume Control is on top of the front right speaker.

I originally bought this system right after it was released from KLH Audio. I compared numerous systems and found this to be the best for the money. This includes almost everything you need and for a fantastic price. I have made an arrangement with a few companies and have begun selling these units. Check for them here on Amazon ... Good luck and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do...

Pros: Awsome speakers, Low price, 120W powered sub, wires included, a company you can trust, and the gates to a whole 'nother world.

Cons: Doesn't come with sub hook-up, std wires aren't your best choice, so cheap you're afraid to buy them. BUT YOU SHOULD! THEY RULE!!!!!

KLH has done it again! I had A sucky sound system in my room (2 very old, sucky Realistic speakers and a decent Infinity center speaker. It had an extremely old reciver hooked up to it.)So ever since I got my Dad's old reciver, (which wasn't very old he just wanted all the new technology since he got a progressive scan DVD player.) I needed new speakers. Though with only 200 bucks to spend, I was in a rut. I wanted full surround sound and a sub. After much research, I had several ideas, but the complete set KLH set seemed to be perfect for me. And sure enough it is! The sattilites are clear and precise and sound great alone, but the sub really makes up for the small speaker bass. This set even includes the wires for the speakers, though is lacking a sub plug. I hooked my front sattilites up through the sub. But with the right reciver, these speakers rock. Litteraly. Hooked up to my PS2, I have ultamite entertainment. I mooved to gaming councles after both our computer started messing up and do only the bare essentials. So that is where I spend my time. And when I compare my setup to my Dad's which cost more than 3 times the amount, just for the speakers, It's a close match. But he has a few advantages. :)
Bottom line: in this price range, nothing can compare to the capabilities of these KLH surrounders

I wanted a home theater speaker system but didn't want to spend alot of money. I am very glad I purchased this system. I compared these speakers with many others and they sounded as good as any I listened too. If you want a great system without paying big bucks for it, then these speakers are for you. I cannot think of anything to complain about and I plan on purchasing another set for a second TV room in the near future.

This subwoofer is a great buy. Infinity subwoofers are one of the best. Since Amazon is selling this product for ...% off the regular retail price, I highly recommend that you go for it before it is gone.

only complaint is no on off switch but other than that its awesome, great sound or should i say feel, if you want bass that your neighbors will feel on the next block, well this is it!

I bought this subwoofer to augment a big screen home theater system in a very large room (24' x 14' by 9' tall). I tucked it in the corner and I adjusted the sensitivity control so that it was very subtle (not overbearing and boomy). Then, the most important thing, I kept the crossover point at a low 75 Hz. This subwoofer performs great: subtle but deep and powerful bass for THX DVDs and for all music. If set-up properly, it is very impressive. And the PRICE! Hello, I couldn't find it cheaper at Harman (infinity's parent co) sites. Amazon is the cheapest!

WOW! That about sums it up, I never thought a 10" sub could produce such a fantastic atmosphere. I have a large great room with very high cathedral ceilings and a lot of floor space; the CHT-10 fills the entire space with tremendous warmth and accurate sub-range audio. After my initial THX setup and tuning was complete I was completely blown away; during the THX sub audio sweep the bass dipped so low that the audio was almost non-existent, but the feeling throughout the structure was awesome. This has to be the best sounding sub I've ever experienced, I was fortunate to find this in a local Circuit City audio room and was very impressed there. This is one you need to hear and feel to believe.

Definitely not for apartment dwellers.

While your girlfriend might not appreciate it (actually..hmm...if you placed it under her seat...anyway) this is a must have for the complete surround sound system. This 10" will shake the house with nice, clean, responsive bass. Along with the need for good loud explosions and the like in action movies, ambient bass is necessary to set moods and this sub is awesome at both. It doesn't only do movies, music sounds equally as impressive. Unless you get a really top of the line surround sound reciever, I don't think they reproduce music as well as a comparable stereo reciever, but this sub really fills in the space and creates a full sound.

I would recommend this sub to anyone who wants powerful, deep, clean bass. I have yet to hear this sub clip/distort. If I could bring it into bed with me, I would.

5 STARS!

All I can say is WOW! As with all 10" speakers, the bass is extremely tight. Where this one stands out is the depth of the bass...the specs say 20 MHz...I'm thinking that may be a little conservative. The first time I saw the price I thought it was a little high, but after hearing it, it's worth every penny. If you're in the market for a sub, do NOT pass this one up.

I thought I already wrote a review for this, but I guess not. This is the greatest because you don't need to buy anything except, the speakers and this sub (oh yeah, the deck too!). This sub amplifys four additional channels and the sub!! I put this into my 1970 beetle and it sounds great!!

Hi there!!! My name is Scott and I think that if you have a small car, you should buy one!!! I have a 1970 VW Beetle and this is soo cool! It amplifies itself and 4 other channels. If you don't know what that means pretty much you can put in 4 speakers, or if you have crossovers, 6 or 8 speakers!!! I have a Sony Xplod CDX700 or something and component speakers (2 with the crossovers on them) and two 6-by-9's in the rear. If I really wanted to (I don't know who would, but) I could put in 2 more 4 channel amps (thats 8 channels) with crossovers on each channel (16 speakers), plus the internal amp (4 channels plus a crossove on each channel) 8 more speakers (well 24 when you add it together), I could also put a tri-way crossover on each channel which would triple the amount of speakers than with a normal crossover!!! I really wouldn't have enough room for any more speakers, but it's still cool to know I can do all this stuff. So if you are looking for a good, compact sub/amp get this one!!! You will like it!!!

This Bose system costs three or four times as much as other competing systems. I used the word competing because other systems are in no way comparable. The sound quality from this sytem is simply unbelievable. If you buy these speakers, you will be moe than satisfied with them.

I dn know what some guys are looking. This system is man just incredible. What you want is quality sound and save space. This is what this system has. I know this much that this system scares my neighbours with terible sound effects. It has both high quality sound and high sound. Price is bit high. Well you need to scracth your pocket a bit to hear it. :)

Most subwoofers I've heard just thud along. The Cambridge P500 is really musical, with a clarity I normally don't hear from a woofer. It's small. It looks very cool. And I love the remote control. I don't have to crawl around on all fours to change the bass level. I prefer it to several [more expensive] subwoofers I listened to.

I've used powered subwoofers in my audio systems for 10 years. Some good, some not so good. The P500 is GREAT. The crossover allows precison adjustment to complement both my speakers and the room. ( I only have a stereo system so I use the P500 for music rather than to watch movies.)The speakers I currently use are much more efficient than most and until I discovered the P500 I was having problems matching them to a subwoofer.

Pros-Great sound, loud bass, sleek look for the price.

cons-wires are a littel messey.

I purchased a set of these speakers over a year ago,and they are still going strong. Don't be fooled by the lower watts output rating, these speakers will crank! They have more than enough power for the average user. The subwoofer and satellite speakers are small enough to place anywhere, but the sound is anything but small. Very clear tones and minimal distortion, even when played loud. They will work with either mono or stereo channel soundcards, no adapters are needed. I have been very pleased with these speakers.

I am quite impressed by the sound an functionality of this Stereo/CD/DVD player. You just can't beat the price, and it looks pretty stylish too. Highly recommended.

I bought this system for my bedroom and it is a great find and it playes music as good as my Phillips suround sound! you realy can't go wrong even for full price!

I recently got this product little doubtful of how good it was. I am awstruck that it can deliver so much bass. i love it i would recomend to all who need to add the .1 in their audio, you wont be disapointed

All I can say is "WOW". It's a great speaker at a great price. In particular, the frequency response is outstanding. The continuously variable crossover is nice and it has plenty of power--I usually only have it up 1/4 of the way or less and my windows still rattle! The sound is deep and very rich. If I ever have need of another sub, I'd get another one of these for sure. You will not be upset with this speaker (unless you hate the color black in your movie room).

After doing alot of research and reading numerous reviews, I chose the SAWM40 as the subwoofer to round out my home theater speaker system. As noted by other reviewers, this sub is big (14-1/4"W x 16-7/8"H x 16-1/2"D) so you may want to contemplate where in the room you'll place it so that it isn't a visual focal point. (I placed mine behind one of my floor standing speakers so that it's not visible from the front viewing angles).

The Sony has good sound (with a 12" long-throw woofer) and dynamic range (20-170hz) but as you'll note from reviews elsewhere on the web, like audioreview, it sounds a little boomy right out the box. If you perform a simple ... modification, however, by adding more polyfill fiber, the bass tightens and you can turn down the volume (assuming your center and front speakers are large enough to handle some bass). With the mod., the sub's sound is excellent. The sub comes with additional features that other subs in its price range don't have: line level input and output, speaker level inputs and outputs, a phase switch, and signal-sensing power on/off. I don't bother using this latter feature because the sub clicks when it's powering back on and there's a slight delay before the bass reappears.

The only other caution I would provide is that you'll probably want to replace the audio cable that comes with the subwoofer. It's not that long so your placement options would be limited. I replaced mine with a Monster sub cable which is shielded and works well.

If you can afford B&W, NHT, or Velodyne speakers, then by all means lay down the cash. But if you're looking for the most bang for the buck and you don't want to spend more on your sub than you do on your mortgage, then you can't miss with this Sony.
