Polk Audio PSW111 - Pros & Cons

fit and finish is good
the main working band is informative and clean
powerful
fast and quite deep bass
looks very good and offers great connectivity and controls
a solid and stable foundation for optimum performance
it seemed well balanced and sounding nice
clear concise and just punchy enough
Knobs and controls on the back are easy to read
high-quality and pure sound
the design is quite intuitive
it was relatively simple

American subwoofer demonstrates a slightly compressed sound
only comes in Black
sound strained too often
PSW111 is not magnetically-shielded
dynamics are not a record one
high mechanical rigidity
subwoofer recently stopped working due to a faulty bass amp
reach the heights of bass extension
lack musicality or have low-frequency hearing loss
this smell disappears in several hours
really difficult to set up this subwoofer
PSW111 is only available in a matte-black finish
The response floor is a little high at 36 Hz
subwoofers often have the issue of having a little too much rumble in turn sounding muddy
it s apparently discontinued now though
take up a lot of space so
powerful too except it doesn t dance across the floor
It s not going to shake the walls down like a 15 inch goliath

Although Polk is known for high performance but affordably priced loudspeakers, this is one of its lower priced models. Our reviewer recommends it for its blend of "performance, size and features," and that it brings "good performance as well as excellent versatility and connectivity." Overall, it "doesn't suffer with movies...and music sounds really good."
