First of all I must confess that this is my first subwoofer, I have a relatively strong Yamaha system RX-V473 I purchased here at Amazon to my satisfaction, I possess a fairly large 6x7m plus open plan living room, a couple of big bass reflex Hifi Jamo speakers in the front and two small surround and a good-sized center of magnate. Nevertheless, I decided for a sub of this size to one because the Yamaha YST can be integrated with in my little TV shelf and because I do not want to hear too much bass. My plan worked, the sub can govern well and in the Yamaha RX-V473 also offer numerous adjustment possibilities. I want to use the bass mainly in films for effects, music I find possibly without a subwoofer even better because the Jamo boxes there already are good, the Yamaha is but effect full and there are films in the special twist. Sounds great. Since I have no comparison I will give 5 stars, I'm satisfied.
As a conclusion I can announce that I find the build quality well and did not detect a buzzing, some wrote about höhrbare midtones, so the first I was heard was annoying but I was able to get away this easily via settings on the receiver.
Conclusion: Not to be used only for the small shelf stereo system but also for the middle class, the look is understated and beautiful, the sub does what he is, I can recommend it. Have a photo set as the customer Photo
