This one is a real gem
(5 out of 5) by G. Burns on Oct 14, 2006 (Chino Hills, CA United States) I recently upgraded my 5.1 THX home theater system by adding a replacement AV Receiver and this gem of a subwoofer.
The Sony SA-WM250 Subwoofer replaces 2 Boston Accoustics passive subwoofers (huge, heavy mothers). The result is way beyond my expectations. When I listen to Music DVD concerts or watch DVD movies I now hear the bass channel as I never heard it with my other subwoofers (To be fair, I blame that partially on my old AV receiver and Amp, and partially on the passive subwoofers).
This Subwoofer is about half the size of just one of my old subwoofers, and there is no setup required other than plugging it in, connecting a speaker cable from the AV receiver, and adjusting the bass control to suit yourself.
I have to say that the addition of this little gem has made a very significent improvement in the sound of my home theater system for such a small investment of money.

Plenty of bang for the bucks!
(5 out of 5) by J Ken Kuzenski on Jul 19, 2006 (Raleigh, NC USA)I wanted to try an active subwoofer with our TV/stereo surround system; I ordered this SA-WM250 because I've always liked Sony gear and it seemed like a bargain price ($75-ish, new from Amazon, July 2006.)
My two significant findings: 1.) Even with 4 big bass-capable speakers for the surround, a subwoofer adds a LOT to the movie/music experience. It is an amazing improvement. 2.) This particular Sony adds the huge improvement at a bargain price. You really can't go wrong with it.

Awesome!
(5 out of 5) by Susan Dadisman on Jan 7, 2007This "little" thing as some might call it is awesome! I've never heard anything like in my life. No auto on/off is no big deal for me, as I have other things to turn off, one more isn't going to hurt. It's the best thing I could find for $100.

great little addition to your stereo system
(4 out of 5) by Larry L. Hoffman on Nov 4, 2006 (Grass Valley, CA United States)To add a little extra to the bottom end of my garage stereo system, I bought this Sony sub to augment a Bose Acoustimass speaker system. The front side power switch adds a bit of flexibility as you can power it down easily if you really don't want or need the extra low end. For under $100 it's got to be one of the better sonic improvement bargains you'll ever find.

SUBWOOFER
(5 out of 5) by Bill Arndt on Nov 3, 2006We were looking for a subwoofer for our living room, but didn't want to pay an arm and a leg. Found this rated in a stereo web site and thought, why not. Can't loose too much at $75.00. When it came in and I connected it, I couldn't believe my ears. This thing was loud!! Great booming bass that made all the movies come alive. If you need a subwoofer and want to be frugal, you can't go wrong with this one.
