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

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!

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 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.

Using with a pair of B&W CM8 S2 speakers. This little rascal gives the speakers the right bass boost to fully enjoy all types of music. Small but mighty and takes up minimal space.

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.

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.

I bought B&W subwoofer for my living room because it was recommended by the sales associate but as soon I connected it, I was really impressed and I went to the store to get another one for my game room.
