Digital camera reviews of Polk Audio PSW10 10-Inch Monitor Series Powered Subwoofer (Single, Black)
Digital camera Review: An excellent sub.equally at home with movies or music.the polk has great bass slam ...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent subwoofer.I am using them on two of my home theater systems. polk speakers,have always been known for natural reproduction of sound wheather it be a movie..rock.. folk ..jazz,..rap...pop..classical..or electronica...When no bass is present,there wont be any,unlike the one note boom woofers,that are muddy or thick...With the polks,you are at the movies,or theater,or a rock concert...For the ultimate in home theater,use a stereo pair..Wow either way a super subwoofer...5 star rated.Digital camera Review: And I actually thought this sub wouldn't be enough....
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow- this thing pumps. I purchased a Denon AVR-591 3 weeks ago, and convinced the wife that using my old Yamaha surround sound/sub speakers with this receiver is like driving a Porsche with tires from Discount Tire Company. So I purchased the Polk Audio PSW10 along with the RM75 satellite speakers. When I started researching what to buy, I actually thought that maybe the PSW10 wouldn't be enough for my HT. But quickly I learned that I probably won't be able to enjoy the full potential of this sub. We live in a town home(end unit though) and gotta kid on the way. No late night here!
My den is about 14'x 16', with a knee wall separating the dining area.
Digital camera Review: Another quality product from Polk Audio!
Summary: 4 Stars
Can't go wrong with this product. Since getting it, movies and TV sound alot better. I can't comment on music yet, since I haven't played a CD/radio, but movies and TV sounds much better now with that bass. It won't BLOW you away with bass, but it gives a nice warm and deep bass that will enhance your theater sound as soon as its hooked up. And its very appealing to the eyes. Makes my audio setup look very professional now. Another great Polk Audio product. If you have a really large room or want to FEEL the bass, you might want to upgrade to a 12" subwoofer or get the more expensive model that handles more watts.Digital camera Review: At sensible volume levels, it's perfect for music & movies
Summary: 5 Stars
I am an older guy who has been listening to music for more than 40 years. At my age, there is no need to try to impress anyone with how loud my stereo can go. And I am wise enough to know that I don't need to spend $500+ on a subwoofer. I now listen to music at low to moderate volume levels which I have learned to feel comfortable with. Even when watching movies in surround mode, I don't feel the need to generate seismic activity. To get to the point, for most of us, this Polk PSW10 is plenty loud enough for home theater as well as music. The bass goes very low. And as long as you don't crank the volume way up on the subwoofer itself, it's not boomey. Besides, you should never need to max-out the volume on the sub-woofer. Just take the time to read the instructions and take some time to calibrate the settings on your receiver/amp as well as the subwoofer. The instructions tell you to set your front (main) speakers on the "small" setting (if you have a surround receiver or amp). After a short while you will find the sweet spot and you should seldom need to touch the volume control on the subwoofer. The only con I can think of is that this unit has a large footprint and it takes up a good chunk of space. And if you feel that you need to impress your friends & neighbors with the loudness of your subwoofer, the PSW10 might disappoint you. But, if you simply want a good-sounding subwoofer to compliment your bookshelf speakers or satellites, the Polk PSW10 will fit the bill nicely. It really makes the music (and movies) sound more alive and full. I gave it 5 stars based on the build quality, sound, and the value received. I got mine (brand spankin' new)for $88.00 at a store called Fry's. Now THAT's a bargain.Digital camera Review: Awesome Subwoofer!

When my old powered subwoofer went out, I first went to Crutchfield and found an "Out of Box" subwoofer for $149. This seemed like a good price but I always check Amazon before I buy anything and I'm so happy I did. The Polk subwoofer is perfect in my living room and for $89 I couldn't pass it up. Set up was very easy and only took a few minutes. I am VERY happy with this purchase!!
