      Hi PatrickR, You definitely made the right choice! Thank you for taking the time to write such an amazing review of your experience with your SA-SW5 Optional powerful 300W wireless subwoofer. We're extremely pleased to hear you are happy with your purchase!

    I really like the SW5. Has a good amount of punch, looks very nice and discounted at a sale open box it definitelly justifies the addition. I never liked open box purchases but this was great. Excellent condition working without issues. Paired it with the AN-1000 AV receiver and Sony A80L. Center speaker from the TV and ceiling speakers for front and surround. Very pleased.

    Live this wireless sub. It sounds nice but put it near a traditional wood stud wall and floor. I put it on a concrete floor near a wall of windows and it didn't have a strong of impact as i desire. I got it in a package on a sale for 399. Well worth it. But it works so well that i bought 2 of them. For different rooms and systems(don't think you can put 2 on the same system).

      Hi MatthewO, Thanks for purchasing 2 SA-SW5s. We are so delighted to hear you are enjoying the clear, thumping bass and subtle low frequency sounds of the wireless subwoofer! With 300 W of deep bass sound from a powerful 180 mm driver and passive radiator, this subwoofer boosts the impact of everything you watch and listen to. Enjoy booming explosions and the deepest beats you’ve ever heard without distortion. You’ll also hear clearer voices and extra fidelity for truly authentic soundtracks. Our Home Theatre System, soundbar and optional speakers have been designed under a common Omnidirectional Block concept. The design of the SA-SW5 is a perfect match for these systems. Its sophisticated rounded edges represent a single solid block providing wide-spreading sound. The combination of rich material textures emphasizes an affinity with any living room environment. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US

    The HT-A9 with SW5 is awesome in our open family room. I combine it with the X95K 85" as a center channel and the dialog did significantly improved with Voice mode. Surround/immersion experience is just amazing. This combination is way better than my previous 5.1 setup with towers, center and bi-polar rear speakers...Especially in 7.1 (Dolby Atmos and DTS:X etc.). The openning scene of Dungeons & Dragons make me feel like I was in the middle of a blizzard.

    This sub is paired with the HT-A7000 Soundbar.... and WOW! This thing has completely blown me away. It puts my sister's Gen 2 Sonos sub to shame in both music and movie sound! Super tight and punchy bass - and an amazing must-have compliment to the HT-A7000 soundbar. Saving $200 of the set of soundbar, sub, and surrounds was also a nice tough. If you have either of the new Sony flagship systems - skip the 200w smaller sub and get this beast if you can afford it. You will NOT regret it!
