Yamaha is known for its high quality products and its YST-SW216 Sub-Woofer is no exception. The unit is the perfect size to place in a hidden location if you like, or equally attractive if you would like it
displayed. The bass emanating from this unit is superb. It is clean, tight and with excellent punch. The unit has a bass volume control, enabling the user to fully enjoy this Sub-Woofer in either a small, mid-size or large room. An on-off switch is an added bonus. The quality of the build seems very solid as well. And did I forget to mention the excellent value of this product and how affordable it is, it is simply amazing. Lastly, you guessed it, I own this unit and I give it a 5 rating across the board! |
Simply awesome! |

I have a large open basement home theatermulti-purpose room. This sub fills the entire room with deep, clean bass. I was so amazed by this sub that I bought two of them, and placed one is each front corner. For the price, why not buy 2?? My brother recently brought his 600 dollar sub down to my basement so we could compare his overpriced sub vs. my two yamahas. Mine sounded just as good, if not better! He was upset that he spent so much money.
Other reviewers noted that the bass can be boomy or muddy sounding. Not sure what they are listening to, bc there is nothing boomy about these subs... just low clean thumping bass.
I highly recommend them. |

This is a great subwoofer at a great price. This really rounded out my surround system and added the needed low end. It is amazing the difference in my system since adding this subwoofer. You really hear the low tones that did not come through before but it does not drown out the other speakers. Very impressive! |

I was able to hook this up to my home theater system in minutes. I popped in the movie Cars and the whole family commented about how it sounded like we were in the movie theater. What a difference a subwoofer makes to the home theater experience. It was one of those rare moments where you know youll never have buyers regret. Hard to believe the quality based on the cheap price.
I liked the documentation that comes with the system - it outlines the six basic ways you can connect the system - one or two subwoofers, line out versus speaker wire, an amp that has two sets of front speakers versus one set of front speakers. The documentation also has a lot of tips to adjust the volume and high cut switch to arrive at the sound you like.
Customer service from vanns.com was superb - which I wasnt expecting since I had chosen vanns.com based soley off of it being the cheapest price. FedEx had delivered the unit to the wrong address. Vanns.com offered to either credit my account or ship a replacement pending the FedEx trace on the item. Customer service was quick to reply, friendly, and helpful on an issue that wasnt even their responsibility. |

I was looking to add a good solid sub to my system. This unit did exactly that. It has plenty of power for my usage consisting of mainly movies, DVDs and music. My room is about as far from surround sound friendly as any room could be. Its L-shaped, hard wood floors, terrible accoustics, my wife is a bit reluctant to hang my rear speakers so they sit against the back wall and below the level of my sofa yet the SW216BL brought the system to life. The price was terrific since even if I had spent $1,000.00 on a sub, the room itself would have defeated the purpose, not to mention speaker location. I have Klipsch front speakers, a Sony Center Channel and Optimus Rear speakers so my system is hardly a matched setup. The addition of the Yamaha sub was very much worth the price. |

After doing a great deal of research...and knowing that you get what you pay for...I thought that I would give this Yamaha a try. This is a case where you get more than one would think...times three.
The room in which Im using the YSTSW216bl IS 14X 14and mated to an ENERGY TAKE 5.1 surround system. This SUB floods the room, and all three floors of the house with crisp, clear bass and gives the low end punch of subs at three times the price.
If youre looking for a sub to make your current system come to life, on a budget or not, you wont be disappointed by this unit! |
