    I have a modest set up and wanted to ad some extra bass to my Sony towers. The bass is great once you dial it in to your room and preference.

    I like this item for its size, but it is okay sound-wise. If you like a lot of base, this item is not for you.

    The sound quality is great and really delivers low-end punch to my sound system. I have it hooked up to an Onkyo TX-NR696 in a 5.1.2 setup. The issue I have is that on ‘Auto Power’ mode the Sub Woofer cannot make up its mind and is switching on and off constantly. This is somewhat annoying to frequently hear the click during a mOkie or TV show.
