Bowers & Wilkins - 8" 200W Active Subwoofer - Black

Quick disclaimer: I am using 2 of these, 1 for each front speaker (BW 704) as a way to bridge the gap of the 5.25" woofers of the speakers and the 15" diameter of my actual woofer. With that said - it did exactly that. I was hoping to get some of the lacking upper bass tones to come to life and further merge the floor standings to my subwoofer. I had previously thought about buying the bigger versions of this lineup of floorstanding speakers, but now see no need to - and at nearly a quarter of the cost. With all of that said, these woofers do a lot more than what I had expected them to. In 2 channel listening (for 90% of the music out there), I could easily turn off my 15" woofer and receive full detailed sound throughout the spectrum. I am beyond impressed at the quality these little guys possess and would definitely recommend them to whomever is looking for an inexpensive woofer. Cheers

I spent about 2.5 hours in the Magnolia Room listening to every combination of speakers and set ups they had. I upgraded my floor speakers because they had so much more bass than the less expensive model. However, when they played a movie with a lot of low end (think wind and other deep sounds), it was incredible just how much difference this sub made. Because of my budget and what I was spending on the rest of my system, I was hesitant to buy a sub. I read several reviews and opinions from literally hundreds of people to determine if a sub was even necessary. Once I got in that room and heard the difference, it was clear a good sub is essential to a cinema-like experience. This sub is fantastic and definitely was worth buying. It adds a lot and I would not put together a good home theater system without it.

I bought a subwoofer as an afterthought. I was considering not buying one since my Klipsch speakers had a such a nice base. I was amazed at what a difference a good subwoofer can make. It’s not just the rumblings sound that you're accustomed to in cheaper systems, which this speaker does much richer, It’s the vibrations you feel with much subtler sounds. Just about all my friends, that have stopped by, have noticed foremost the subwoofer. That says something when they are in the company of Klipsch Reference front and back speakers, Bowers & Wilkins center speaker, and a Marantz receiver. I highly recommend this speaker!

This was my first sub purchase ever. I was looking for a sub that would fill in the lower end for both music and movies. I don't need (or like) chest and window thumping bass so I thought this 8" sub would work for me. When setup with my new floor standing speakers (Elac F6.2) the sound got lost. Going to exchange for a larger size. I think this sub would work well when paired with smaller speakers. Unfortunately just didn't work for me. I would recommend this sub to others if used with bookshelf speakers.

After purchasing a home theater system for my living room, I decided to install one in my master bedroom. After consulting with the Best Buy sales person, he recommended the Bowers & Wilkins - 8" 200W Active Subwoofer. I’m glad I took his advice. I’m very satisfied and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a sub for their home theater at a reasonable price.

I bought this to use with my Bowers and Wilkins 684 S2 floor standing speakers.This is a musically sophisticated device that really improves the already good bass sound on my B & W system, whether I'm listening to the blues, symphonic music, or watching an action movie. A powered sub-woofer is the way to go and this is a good one. I like the way it goes into energy-saving sleep mode when not in use.

Great addition to round out sound for our stereo and tv. Just had one wire to attach and was able to call our sales contact when we were not sure which connection to use. Geek squad had previously been here to set up the tv so they installed the wire then because we had to wait for this piece to arrive at the store.

Wanted some bass to go with everyday TV. Ceiling Sonance speakers/Yamaha receiver. Placed sub in enclosed cabinet. This thing bumps if you want it to. Perfect addition. Have a 10 inch Sonace in basement and this almost equals it. Great purchase.
