What's great about it: Everything, the sound, the size and the price.
What's not so great: nothing
I bought this for a TV set up. I recently purchased a 60in LCD and needed to upgrade my system. I have a Kenwood VR-405 and was thinking about upgrading the whole system. But I didnt feel I needed to change the whole thing just the subwoofer. My subwoofer was geting a little rattle when big action scenes happened. So i was on a $200.00 budget. I saw this one and liked its size and sound that I heard at Best Buy. So i took this one home and connected it in like 10 seconds. Its really easy to setup. I put Call of Duty Black Ops on my PS3 and was amazed at how much sound I was missing from the game. I the punch it packs WOW! My wife just looked at me and smiled and said "That sounds awesome." Next I tried a movie. I put in Black Hawk Down and cut to an intense scene and once again i was blown away. This was an excellent choice for a subwoofer. It is a nice clean bass sound with no rattles from the woofer what so ever. And with the PS3 system that is a blue ray player as well I had an awesome entertainment center.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Nice-looking for fake wood; line- and speaker level I/O; control options found on more expensive subs; price-to-quality
What's not so great: A little boomy at higher volume
I opted out of the instant gratification factor and ordered the faux cherry cabinet vs. taking a black one off the shelf. Good choice. While they're both vinyl-covered particle board, the cherry looks less fake. Unlike most reviews, I got this for an audio-only set-up, so pass this review over if you're looking to see how the PSW10 does in a surround sound HT environment.
Once you get this installed--whether line level or speaker level--take some time to work with the crossover control and volume level...a small adjustment can make a huge sonic impact. Once I finally got mine right, the bass was punchy and tight, dramaticallly enhancing a large variety of music without overwhelming it. And don't be too concerned about the power rating at 50W--this guy will rattle your windows if you want it to. I found the best sound comes from the volume control set at less than halfway. Anything more and things get boomy and muddy. Maybe a good effect if you're watching an action movie, but not so much if you're listening to jazz or rock selections.
Got mine for a hundred bucks on sale, with free shipping for store pick-up. That made the PSW10 a no-brainer for me, but even for the full retail price it's a very good buy.
Footnote: A buddy loaned me a spare PSW110 to demo before I bought a sub. It has more power, for sure, but simply not enough of a sonic difference to warrant the extra cash.
I would recommend this to a friend!
