    Good sub but too small for my needs.

    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.

    We had Best Buy install our new surround sound system last weekend and it is AMAZING! I'm so glad we spent the extra money to get this instead of a cheaper system. The guys did a great job with the install too, they were courteous, respectful, and punctual.

    This packs a decent punch for being as small as it is and fits in great with my existing Energy Connoisseur C-5 tower speakers.

    Guys at the store sold us on it. We DID NOT need it and geek squad said it would not work with what we bought. We returned it unopened.

    The amp blew with less than 50 hours of use - because it went out after the 2 year warranty, B&W service wanted $310 to fix it - which I declined to pay. While my other B&W speakers sound great - I will never spend another dime with this company that does not stand behind their products.

    Not your typical setup

    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 bought the 8” Bowers and Wilkens power subwoofer. The sound quality is outstanding from this 8” sub. I have a 20’x20’ room with 10’ ceilings and it will rock the entire room.

    This sub is being used in a 5.1 setup with all bowers and Wilkins speakers. Sound is great. Also like the compact size and overal finish.
