PSW 125 rosewood

Although I'm happy with the performance of the sub I'm not happy with the finish. I purchased this sub to match my RTiA9's and CSiA6 finish which is the Rosewood. The 125 is neither a rosewood color (more like a red oak color) nor is it a wood veneer as are the A9's and A6. It is instead covered in a cheesy laminate. If you're interested in simply matching the acoustics of your Polk speakers I recommend you just purchase the Black finish and not the rosewood.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It is what is it. It's a decent purchase . No one should expect high levels of ground shaking bass from this... of course for that you have to move up. For a small room, secondary system, it's acceptable. I found the optimal spot for it in my room and I still had to turn the volume up to max to get an acceptable level from it. Below the max volume setting there's very little output from it. It's kind of all or nothing. In my situation if I crank my receiver up the satellites start to drown out, overpower, the sub once I reach a certain volume level. I think it would be much better (actually pretty darn good) if it had a more powerful amp. I was worried it might be a one note boom box, but it had some decent sound quality to it. IME/situation it works best at low to mid sound levels.

Hey Dave - You don't know what you're talking about. This IS a powered sub so please don't comment on something you have no idea about. I am using this small footprint sub to augment the bass in a Onkyo CR-445 mini system for music listening. It performs that function magnificently and can really crank out the bass if turned up. Also use to increase sound from TV in stereo mode as my receiver is not a home theater. Very impressive tight sound and very compact. Would purchase again.

I had this subwoofer, I am a great lover of subwoofers for film and music, but this model in particular I was quite disappointed, the sound is very booming.
I am one of many fans numbers 1 Polk, and I would say that my taste I stay with the previous models, the Psw303 Psw404 Psw505 Psw10 Psw12, the sound of these is deeper and more enveloping, I prefer to sound with a subwoofer surround a deep and booming, so I prefer a booming speakers for computer type Logitech Z-5500.
I have understood that dependent on a topic that has changed the place of manufacture, if that could not be influenced.

THUMP THUMP BOOM! Perfect for our room (24x12'), this little pushes enough air to deliver all the thuds, crashes and rumbles that you need to complete your home theater experience. I'd rate this at 4 stars because for a 10" sub the box is a bit on the big size. My wife calls it the mini fridge! :( However it gets an extra star because the price was without a doubt the deal of the year!

This, coupled with my Onkyo 805 and the CS-2 center channel make for a special combination. This sub more than holds its own.
