Yamaha YST-FSW050BL Advanced Yst II Down-Firing Active Subwoofer Black

I'm not an audiophile by any stretch but I do want to get the best out of my digital library, so I bought this to round out the music from my PC soundcard (optical) to a pair of Tangent X5 BT active speakers. I live in a flat and didn't want or need earth-quaking bass, just a little more depth at the low end. So far I love it! I was initially concerned about my downstairs neighbour so after a bit of research on forums/Google I mounted this on a couple of concrete blocks to negate excessive bass vibration (it's downward firing) and set the volume knob to around 35-40%. Plugged into my X5s the volume level/output is automatic through the Tangent remote control. It has really added another dimension to the sound and I'm revisiting all kinds of old music and hearing new details. I also loved the price, you really can't go wrong for less than £100. Sure, if you want to make the roof tiles fall off this probably isn't the one, but at this price and for my simple needs I'm a very happy customer.

I got this to add a bit of basey depth to my small wharfedales. The rest of my system is yam; an amp, a sound bar, and a satellite speaker all in different rooms. It's not as precise as I had hoped it would be, but it's not bad. But to be fair, it is in a narrow room facing across the room. It could be better in a bigger area. I'm no expert though.

Plenty of sound for medium sized rooms. I have a Yamaha SRT 1000 sound plynth and adding this definitely makes a difference. More cinema effect sound and good bass when playing music. I have always been happy with Yamaha products especially for build quality and this speaker does not disappoint.

Excellent little box with a big sound. Very reasonably priced and an great addition to my Dolby Atmos system. I love the fact that it is small enough to fit on a shelf with other home cinema hardware.

A great addition to my hi fi system, fits in well on unit and fills out the sound with lots of bass without any booming or distortion.

Did exactly what i wanted..gave my denon mini system extra ooomph and freed my speakers to handle the mid range and treble

It's but could do with some independent tone control, sounds a little wooly without it.

Does what it needs to and at a good price.
