I bought the Sony SA-WM250 subwoofer to augment my Sony STR-DE998 7.1 Channel Surround Sound Audio/Video Receiver and Bose speakers. Amazing
I own a 500W Home Theater system with an included passive subwoofer. I wanted to upgrade my system and found this SONY active subwoofer in Radio Shack. I decided to buy it because it's a SONY, and for its affordable price and specifications. Amazing performance - regardless of the price - the missing link
I have a high-end Sony A/V receiver as the foundation of my A/V system. I added this powered subwoofer to replace a passive unit from Cambridge Soundworks. The difference is stunning! The SONY adds bass information that goes unheard otherwise. On music, it creates a wonderful sense of fullness. On movies and DVDs, this is the missing link that takes you into the movie theatre. My next addition will be a pair of bass transducers to attach to the sofa and chairs. No auto on - no problem
After reading reviews on this sub stating that no auto on was its only downfall, I purchased a SA-WM500 and am very please with it. For early Christmas presents, I bought a couple of these SA-WM250 for my kids. They are young enough to bend over and press the button to turn it on. Unbelieveable speaker just as other reviewers have affirmed. Just out of curiosity, I plugged it into my voltage tester and found that with no input signal (TV off) the sub only showed 2 watts of power usage. That's 1/3 of what a night light uses. No wonder it has no auto on feature, it does not need it. Just turn it on and leave it on. I think Sony probably had that figured out. If you would like to have the full audio range out of you everyday television watching, just plug this sub into the back of the TV and you will be amazed at the difference. It will handle most normal home theater needs as well. This is one of those few products that you get much more than what you pay for. Good Buy For the Mone
This is an execellent value. It has a big sound and provides rounds out my 5.1 system
I bought this sub to turn my 5.0 system into a 5.1.Since this is my first subwoofer I can't compare it to any other product. I can say it fills a void that my 2 fronts didn't.It doesn't shake walls or break glass and that is fine for my needs.If you have a small space and budget to match then this unit will do the job. One suggestion:replace the supplied 75ohm cable with a more expensive one. It makes a HUGE difference! Terrific performance
For my front speakers I have a pair of Infinity Reference towers, maybe 6 years old, each of which contains a 50-watt side-firing subwoofer. The speakers sound great for music and most movies, but those subwoofers aren't powerful enough for the really deep and loud effects on blow-'em-up DVDs: if I turn the subwoofers' gain high enough to shake the floor even a little, the protection circuits cause them to cut out on the loudest effects -- just when I need them the most. This appears to do no harm to the subwoofers, but it's disconcerting to say the least. So I knew I needed more (MORE BASS! MORE VOLUME!!), and this well-reviewed Sony seemed like just the ticket. The Missing Link
The Sony Subwoofer is awesome ! My Home theatre is now complete.I didn't realize what I was missing.My wife and I watched a DVD of Jaws for old times sake and the Sub made all the difference, it was like being in the theater.Excellent value. Not an expert...
Ordered it on Amazon on 6/2 and it arrived on 6/7. Another satisying transaction through Amazon...Anyway, I got the 27" Syntax LCD TV. This TV has subwoofer output that I just needed to make use of because the speakers it came with sucks. Made a huge difference in sound quality. I can't tell you why, not an expert, just know when it's good and when it's not. Unit is large, didn't expect it to be this big. I'll upload some picts. Just what my home theatre needed...
I read the reviews, as I always do, here on Amazon and at epinions before buying this little subwoofer! This one is a real gem
I recently upgraded my 5.1 THX home theater system by adding a replacement AV Receiver and this gem of a subwoofer. great little addition to your stereo system
To add a little extra to the bottom end of my garage stereo system, I bought this Sony sub to augment a Bose Acoustimass speaker system. The front side power switch adds a bit of flexibility as you can power it down easily if you really don't want or need the extra low end. For under $100 it's got to be one of the better sonic improvement bargains you'll ever find. Plenty of bang for the bucks!
I wanted to try an active subwoofer with our TV/stereo surround system; I ordered this SA-WM250 because I've always liked Sony gear and it seemed like a bargain price ($75-ish, new from Amazon, July 2006.) great value
This subwoofer did everything I wanted for a basic and cheap home theater system. Great bass sound at a great price. SUBWOOFER
We were looking for a subwoofer for our living room, but didn't want to pay an arm and a leg. Found this rated in a stereo web site and thought, why not. Can't loose too much at $75.00. When it came in and I connected it, I couldn't believe my ears. This thing was loud!! Great booming bass that made all the movies come alive. If you need a subwoofer and want to be frugal, you can't go wrong with this one. Awesome!
This "little" thing as some might call it is awesome! I've never heard anything like in my life. No auto on/off is no big deal for me, as I have other things to turn off, one more isn't going to hurt. It's the best thing I could find for $100. A lot of BOOM for the buck.
Adding this sub to my current system,was like going out and buying a complete new system.Well worth the money. Awesome sub-woofer !
I recently purchased a new Sony SA-WM250 sub-woofer for my home theatre system.This "low cost" sub only cost me $89.99..but sounds like a $389.99 cab...its construction is suprising.well beveleled egdes,tight wood construction and best of all?..its sound,after some minor tweeking(I'm no HT expert)I got this baby to sing the blues in a tight,phat bellow.Its well ...easy!I connected my A speakers to the input of the sub then connected the output of the sub to my JBL bookshelf speakers via decent monster 16g speaker wire....WOW...Awesome sub-woofer.Go get yourself one......or two.I acually compared side by side to a veladyne in the store and the salesmen were shocked at how this WM250 was making the "high-end" woofer run for its money.So for little money but big time bass ..get one. Sony Hits a Home Run!
I was very pleasantly surprised when this relatively low cost subwoofer sounded better than any I had heard at twice the price. A fine Sony product, deep, deep bass! Perfect for small Apartments
Honolulu is the city of very expensive housing, therefore apartments are small (for most people). I live in a 450 sq ft studio so how to get great sound without neighbors knocking on my walls? Picking very carefully! My orginal Home Theatre came with a passive subwoofer which just didn't deliver. I'd replaced the receiver with a 7.1 Pioneer so I have all digital sound and picture, but the bass sound was weak. Now for the oomph - checking reviews, the Sony 100w seemed the ticket (and the big plus - on sale with free Amazon shipping). It is perfect in my small place and now Star Wars sounds like the big theatres with THX! Amazon is a real plus in Hawaii as most places insist on using 2nd day shipping which often cost as must as the merchandise! Happy in paradise I am! Condo Dweller's Delight
When you live in a condo, you have to limit the power of your speaker system. I got smaller speakers for my stereo and was missing the lower tones. (Even my Klispch Ipod player was producing much better bass.) Finally, I found this subwoofer. It is smaller than most I've seen, and it really reproduces the bass well. My music sounds great and my movies play great in DD 5.1. So far, I haven't gotten complaints from the neighbors. Two of its standard features are also helpful: you can decide where its cutoff frequency and at what volume it plays. Using my Klipsch IPOD player as a guide, I was able to set the subwoofer. Great
This unit does a great job of making the bass in my music/movies better however, it is sometimes overpowering for my little shelf stereo. Rocks the House Without Fail
I didnt give this unit 5 stars, but it is very close. I have a six-year old SONY mini component home theater system that is about 175 watts spread out amongst the 5 speakers. I had been satisfied with this surround sound, including the bass, of this system but I had visited a friend (Hi, MD) who mentioned to me that his condo shook in the scene during Polar Express when the train first pulls onto the little boy's street. My system did throw out some pretty booming bass, but I thought, what the heck. I, an avid Reggae and House music listener, could always use some more bass. Sony SA-WM250 Subwoofer
This product performs very well and is a good buy for those wantign to enhance the sound of their entertainment system that did not come with this type speaker. Amazing deal very powerful
I recently got this sub to add on to two satellite speakers, and the results are unbelievable. With the gain turned up to barely to 25%, everything already starts to rattle (and I have a bit of experience with bass: 200W 12" sub in my car). This 100W sub is very efficient with its well designed front port, and the amplifier is very clean. At high outputs (haven't actually put it to the max because #1 wearing it in + #2 afraid of ppl complaining...), the sound is not distorted at all. Very, very good deal being 100W RMS (not 100W max like many of the other advertised systems...Yamaha). From a very dependable company too, Sony. Couldn't be happier!!! great sub for a pitance
Had a passive sub on the kids audio/video set up and felt like suprising them with an active sub. I am amazed at what a bargain this subwoofer is ... they get those deep video game and movie basses bigtime now. I previewed it via some music cds and was suprised again. Very good product for not much money! Excellent Product
I find this subwoofer to be an excellent product. It meets or exceeds all of my expectations. Shipping was prompt (and free!!) And, the price was right. What more could anyone want?? No auto switch?
It's a pain to have to turn this on and off manually. It sounds OK - about what you might expect for the price. I actually bought a Polk 10" for $100 on sale that beats the heck out of this one! Sony SA-WM250 Subwoofer
I recently purchased a Sony SA-WM250 Subwoofer and is very satify with it. Excellent subwoofer for a home theater
When I upgraded my home theater receiver, I needed to get a powered subwoofer. This was a great choice. The sound that comes out of it is very rich, and actually too powerful. I have to keep it at less then 1/2, otherwise it will shake and boom all throughout the house. I am very happy with it. very good match for my players, a great Value too!
Been using with for just a month and its been pretty cool and good, 5 stars, because its a great match for my small initial DMA-710 DVD player, either im using my PS2, Drum Pads and plainly listening to my musics, its very good, it gives a rich thick bass thumpin' that makes my music more alive. Great Value for the money indeed, no doubt. Thanks. Sounds Great
I added a small home theater to my house with a Sony AV receiver and Proficeint 650 in ceiling speakers. I was concerned that the in ceiling speakers would not have enough bass, so the sub woofer was really important. This little sub packs a huge punch. I couldn't be happier. Small size and great price. It is straight up awesome!!
I am a college student on a limited budget, and I was searching for a sub for my dorm room. I came across this one, and It is amazing for movies and music! It adds the perfect amount of bass, and i like ALOT of bass, it fills the dorm room. I would highly recommend this sub for a small to medium sized room! Sony SA-WM250 - Great Value
Great sub for under $100. For a 100-watt system and little $, this is the way to go. Its great. Impressive!
I'm a television and film chief engineer for audio in Burbank, CA. Forget about specs. The real test comes from your listening environment. This thing sounds great at any price! A nice responsive bass with adjustable gain, adjustable low frequency roll off and a rear phase switch. Most receivers let you flip the LFE (sub woofer) phase in some deep menu or you can flip the wires, but it's nice to have a switch for easy comparison. Dolby Digital has a characteristic phase shift in relation to the other speakers, switching phase can sometimes give surprisingly better and more powerful low-end. I highly recommend this sturdy little sub woofer. AWESOME SUB BEST FOR PRICE!
AWESOME SUB AND FOR THE PRICE CANT BE BEAT!! HUGE BASS ENOUGH TO HOLD UP IN MY 20 x 16 FOOT ROOM GREAT GREAT DEAL!! Good for making a small system seem big
I bought this relatively inexpensive subwoofer to add an a Panasonic DVD Changer bi-amplified mini system, and connect it to the variable subwoofer output on the mini system. It adds depth and volume that works well in my large family room. It sounds deeper and tighter than a lot of the inexpensive surround systems that I've heard. I think it sounds at least as good if not better than my neighbor's Bose 2.1 system at 2/3rds the price including the a more capable mini system and the subwoofer. economical subwoofer
A low price subwoofer that meets all of my sound requirements. As much extra bass as I need while not overly large in size. Easy hookup.made this a good choice. NICE SUB FOR MONEY
This is a really nice sub for the Money, Sounds nice and is very affordable.. I would recomend this product to anyone who likes clean sounding bass.. Hope this reveiw could be helpful to all. for use with old analog equipment
I have a McIntosh 2100 (circa 1972) and a C26 McIntosh pre-amp and I play a lot of vinyl folk-rock and country rock. The C26 pre-amp has an adjustable center channel output that works perfect with the SA-WM250 to give rich extra bass to my speaker system without overkill in terms of the kind of music I enjoy. Several young sales people in modern places like Fry's and Best Buy told me using a center channel for a sub-woofer would not work because the center channel was dedicated to mid-range, but they were thinking in terms of modern surround systems and digital receivers. As some audiophiles have discovered, older, over-produced systems like the McIntosh prior to the 1980's and vinyl have a distintive richness of sound. My Sony Subwoofer works perfect with it. Very great subwoofer!
This has all the controls you need, and produces a huge bass sound with no distortion. It's big, but then again, your subwoofer doesn't need to be small and unobtrusive. You can get this unit for a small to medium sized room. Don't pay a lot more money for some other more fancy one! I am very pleased
I am very pleased with this subwoofer. Bravo to Sony for creating so reliable active piece of a larger home theater, which does not interfere with the TV or overpowers the sound from the smaller speakers. The price is right and the design is also excellent. This is really the best you may buy. Great sound..and a great deal
For the past several years I have had my Bose cube speakers hooked up to my Sony system. The cubes have used a passive subwoofer. It seemed to work fine, but in putting together my new theater I decided to get an active subwoofer. I have now learned what I have been missing. This really fills out the sound in the room and provides a nice, but not overpowering thump to movies. I have it in a pretty narrow room, so I didn't want anything that would be overwhelming in a smaller space. This is a great option, and very good deal for the price. Five stars for the quality
I have just upgraded my passive sub with this powered sub and Wow!!! I got the real bass sound that I have never gotten. This is a great deal that I got so far. It is a little big, but look nice and matched well with my 5.1 home theater system. For $100 this sub is hard to compete! Highly recommended! Sony SA-WM250 100-Watt Active Subwoofer
Great value, well made and terrific sound. Very pleased with this purchase. Excellent Subwoofer
The Sony SA-WM250 100-Watt Active Subwoofer is awesome, and reasonably priced. Now my home theatre system is complete and it sounds absolutely great. All the kids come over now to watch movies, eat popcorn, candy and hotdogs. They love the new sound from the subwoofer. It really sounds like you are in a huge movie theatre. I definitely recommend this subwoofer. Wonderful
I am very happy with the product, for the money you can not bet it. Impressive
I was very impressed with this sub! It is a powerful sub for the price. It will give you everything you need (unless you have a giant room to rock). The sub has a crossover control which is important and not found on a lot of subs Lots of Oomph!
This guy is a marvel, like a big stalwart friend, always there boosting the richness of the sound. Subwoofer
Very good subwoofer for the price. Expected to pay a lot more for my replacement unit. sony sa-wm250 100 watt active subwoofer
great price fantastic thump this speaker sounds and looks wonderful makes my home entertainment center stand out from others at much less cost very happy with this item WoW!
Bought a Sherwood home theater tuner/amp to take advantage of all those unused speakers in the basement bought over a 20 year period. Hooked up five speakers and had a great sound. Bought this damaged box special at Radio Shack warehouse outlet and then watched Starwars 4, 5 & 6 again. What an amazing differance. It doubled the intensity of the surround sound experience. Sounds great
I set this powered sub with my nonpowered sub and it sounds great amp even recognizes that I have 2 subs hooked up. Grat price might buy another powered sub to replace my passive one. Excelente producto Sony
Ahora tengo mi equipo de sonido completo con este subwoofer Sony |
