Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought two of these because my Definitive Technologies Pro Sub 1000 died after 8 years. I solely based the purchase on the reviews/price point. My receiver has two outputs for subwoofers so I decided to get two when I only had the one DT. I have to say I was initially a bit underwhelmed. I was expecting a lot more bass, especially via two subs, but that was not the case. It just didn't have the same effect as my DT. Now the DT cost close to $500, and BOTH of these cost under 200 so what did I expect, right? After fooling with the output of both my receiver and the speakers, I did finally get a somewhat decent sound that I can live with. I have to keep the volumn totally turned up on the subs to achieve the results I like. I only had to have the DT at half. I do not play music on my system, strictly TV, or movies so I have no review of that sound quality. Overall, not bad, but I'm glad add I got two. *** Additional review after two days: OK, I will now rate these as 5 star after I figured out that it was operator error/mistake in my receiver setup that caused the lack of bass from these speakers. I found out that I did not have the output to the subwoofer turned up from minimal. Once I cranked it up, Voila, more bass! Excellent. Now I can turn down the master volume on the speaker to just bit above 1/2. I was also having an issue with the auto shutoff feature not working. It would go into sleep mode but then would not wake up on a signal return. Well, that again was caused by me not having a high enough output to the subwoofer on my receiver. Another issue solved, now it works great. Very happy now.....great purchase.
