I purchased this subwoofer in 2007, and it died a year later, nearly to the day. I blame myself, really - when I was thinking about buying it, I read reviews, impartial about all of which said that it had profitable sound. That was apt. What I didn't read at the time was all the complaints. Turns out that the PS12 and PS10 amplifier modules are well-known for failing around a year after first turn-on. In my case, I pulled the screws and yanked the amplifier module. Soot is everywhere. I honestly can't gape exactly what failed, though it looks like an position under one of the inductors was fervent in a flashover of some sort. In fact, about a one-square-inch chunk of circuit board is actually eaten away from this failure. Now, I'm handy with a soldering iron, but this is clearly unfixable, since a stout region of the surface traces are destroyed. At least they had the sense to install an internal fuse - without that, this failure might have burned down my house. $300 for one year of expend and the potential for a life-changing fire; you do the math. Anyway, I unbiased bought a Cadence CSX-12 to replace this dog. Do your research, not objective for audiophile reviews, but also for complaints!
built solid and tough. packs enough power to acquire the house shaking and wake the neighbors. very extreme, tight and undistorted bass. i paid 288 for this baby and i don't know how you can beat it for that trace?
I recently heard a performance of Saint-Saens's Organ Symphony at Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco, which features a 9000-pipe Ruffatti organ. The very rude organ notes are an indispensable fragment of the music. When I got home, my recorded version honest did not satisfy anymore. I suspected my dilapidated subwoofer (Yamaha SW215) was not quite up to the job. It never really seemed to add a lot of range to my main (Bose) speakers (though it gave more control over the bass response) and I concept I needed something that moves more air. The Infinity does the trick. It is considerably larger, which caused me some problems positioning it in the room appropriately, but I guess that comes with the extended bass response. I am also discovering some richness in the bass in movies and other music that I did not miss previously, but bask in now. Nothing against the Yamaha, which I archaic happily for two years, but I guess size does matter in some things.
