   This review is from: Definitive Technology ProSub 800 120v Speaker (Single, Black) (Electronics)

   So I started with a $150.00 subwoofer (private label through Circuit city). It was rated a 4.8 out of 5 so I gave it shot. Everbody said “great sub for the money”. Well it was just that, it was extremely muddy sounding. Then I went to a Klipsh Synergy 10″ for $280 through Best Buy. Again great reviews, plus it was $120 off the $399 retail. Much clearer in sound, great power and fills the room BUT the sub had terrible definition for bass guitar. Sooo I finally just stepped it up and spent the extra buck (and came across a deal) to go to the Definitive Tech ProSub 800. WOW what a difference! Not only did the bass rolloff like a waterfall but the definition was perfection. The funniest thing is that this has to be the SMALLEST, MOST, POWERFUL sub on the market. Everything I saw was obnoxious in size…this thing is so small! So if you aren’t able to hide your sub behind anything, this unit can easily be out in the open and not be a distraction. My sub is paired up with(2) ProMontior 800 front speakers and Yamaha V663 receiver. I also had (2) existing in-wall Jamo speakers for surround. All together the system sounds phenomonal for music…plus its all so small and clean looking. I have an open concept space (vaulted ceiling and loft). Combo great room and dining room is about 525 sq. ft and the sound radiants thougout the space.
   I was lucky enough to get this ProSub with minor cosmetic damage on Amazon for $299. After hearing and seeing it, I would highly recommend this sub for $399, personally I think they could get away with $499 since it offers premium bass definition in such a industry leading small size.

   Best Sub on the Market!, September 17, 2008

   I’m very satisfied with the sound and functionality of the Definitive sub. The bass is bone-rattling and will shake your whole house, but it is very clean sounding with no vibration in the case itself. I’ve got it connected with a single Monster subwoofer cable to my Onkyo receiver. Very easy setup. The appearance is very elegant. I like the volume control on the side. The Prosub 800 is perfect for a small living room.

   The only gripe I have is that it has an auto-off feature. If the sub doesn’t receive a bass signal after about an hour, it shuts off. So when I’m watching a TV program or movie with lots of dialogue it will shut off and then pop back on (with a noticeable popping sound) when there is either an explosion or loud music. It is a small gripe because you never have to worry about leaving it on accidentally.

   Listening to music is a dream with this sub. I’m in to rock and heavy metal, so this sub makes it seem as though a machine gun is going off in my house (scares the dog). I love it.

   This little sub can deliver a hell of a punch when it needs to and then remind you that it’s got some big power when it needs to give you a rumble. The instructions are simple to read and informative enough to feel like you just plugged it in and got it going right out of the box. This sub will definitely shake you home.

   This is a great deal for a subwoofer, especially one from a high-end speaker manufacturer. They check everything before it leaves them to get to you so you should receive a perfectly made subwoofer. The construction is solid and there is nothing on it that feels cheap.

   I tried it with Dark Knight and the sounds were just as creepy as when I first saw it in the the theater. The rumbling and humming in the background just set the mood.

   I would totally recommend getting this sub, whether you’ve got to spend a little extra or you get to save a little more, this sub is totally worth it.

   I am using this with a Yamaha RX-V730 A/V Receiver and Definitive Technology SSA-50 Single Speaker Array. Dark Knight played from an HBO HD recording on a TiVo Series 3 HD in 5.1.

   And with Amazon Prime you can get it the next day for $3.99.
