: I am returning an Energy ES-10 which has a buzz at mid volume ranges, and found the Yamaha YST-SW300 Active servo, 185 watt 12" sub on www.netmarket.com for 303.69 (inc. shipping and tax!) which is less than what I paid for the Energy! Question - is the sub any good? Anybody have experiences with netmarket? Suggestions?

: Thanx!

Yes, I have just tested out my YST-SW300. Man-oh-man! This sub is incredible. The Active Servo Technology's negative impedence circuit *IS* all that it lives up to be. The sound can be tightened for music or opened up for movies. I find that centered ( flat from high to low -3db points ) for normal listening. When my kids are sleeping, I tone it down so that they don't think that we are having a lightining storm. I have checked out polks high end subs, klipsch, energy, bose, pioneer, Mirage and have not been able to find one to match this baby for under $800. This sub is retailed at around $599, and I purchased it for $319+shipping at the speaker discount wharehouse.

One thing to note that some of that 185watts of power must be pumped into the damping mechanism, since the volume is not what I expected it to be for that kind of power. *BUT*, it is plenty loud and the sound quality is stupendous.

I recommend it to anyone looking for a high quality sub.

Here is my setup:
Yamaha DSP-A1
Panasonic A110
Rear surrounds are Yamaha A-536
Center is Yamaha AC-3
Front mains are Yamaha A-636
Front effects are Yamaha A-770
Main sub YST-SW300
Rear sub Polk Audio PSW-120.
Tv Sony 31" ( Can't wait for the plasmas to come out ).

Feel free to contact me at demirateser@hotmail.com if you would like to chat some more.

God( what(who)ever that may be ) - I love this stuff!
