What's great about it: Quality sound and power
What's not so great: Small and lighter body makes it moved on wood floor and shake on the cuppet floor
I bought this sub and return in 3 days. It sounds good and strong power but its body and weight are not strong enough to hold the power when I turn on higher volume. B&W makes very good speakers but not so good subs compared to Martin Logan. For this price range, we can find the better one. Good for turning normal or lower volume.
This product has... Easy to set up, Good build quality, not right size for my space
About me... practical, Pro audio / DJ
I would recommend this to a friend!

This sub sounds great! I compared it to others in the same price range and it just sounded smoother to me. It's a bit pricey but you get what you pay for! I've had it for a month and I have no complaints.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Deep rich sound, sharper high's, lots of volume
What's not so great: Nothing I can see (hear) so far.
I spent way too much time doing research on a subwoofer. I went to all the AV forums, several trips to Best Buy and Fry's to listen to different models, etc. I'm not an audiophile so I can't discern between the ultra-nuances of certain audio products but I can tell the difference between crisp and muffled, loud and soft, booms and rattles.
I had narrowed my decision to 3 subs based on my room size, receiver, and others and then did something crazy. I went into Best Buy and listened again. This time there was a B&W AWS608 off ot the side not even plugged in. I had not heard B&W except for some headphones I really liked. The salesperson pulled the plug on a Supercube 2000 and plugged in the B&W AWS608. It was poor compared to everything else. It sounded okay but had little volume. The Supercube sounded better.
That's when I lost all sense of logic. The Magnolia rep said they had the next model B&W up, the 10" AWS-610. I never got to hear it before I brought it home. All that research out the window. However, I have never looked back. I have a large living room with stone floors, cathedral ceilings and opening into the entry way and the kitchen. Yet this thing is amazing. It makes my Definitive pro1000 look like a toy. I have it turned up 1/3 and it's booming and crisp.
The forums have little info on this series and it's hard to compare vendor pricing because fewer vendors carry this.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Compact size, easy to hookup and place, sounds amazing at any volume
What's not so great: Nothing
This was the subwoofer I was saving up to purchase to complete my system. I came home after work one day to find it already hooked up and playing. Turns out my girlfriend bought it and ordered it for me a week before! I spent the next several hours listening to different material on it and everything sounded amazing, from movies, tv shows, and especially music. The deep low frequencies can really shake the house and the more subtle low frequencies hit just enough to hear and feel them too. For the money, one of the best subwoofers out there!
I would recommend this to a friend!
