Used for a Theatre Organ |

Three PSW110 subs are used for the Main and Solo cabinets of a large digital theatre organ. The room is small (about 12 X 20) so high volume is not an issue. These subs must handle the 8' and 16' Pedal stops which reach as low as 32 Hz. The sound is excellent. These, and six RM7 satellites, replace six 15" three-way speakers that overwhelmed the room. The subs are hidden in a window seat making them virtually invisible. External high-pass filters are used to keep the pedal frequencies out of the RM7 satellites. The Polk speakers were chosen following a "shootout" among three manufacturers by a group of experienced theatre organists. All agreed that the PSW110/RM7 combo provided the most realistic sound.

Lacks punch |

My systems consists of a Polk RM10 satellite system, a Klipsch RC10 center
speaker, a Polk PSW10 subwoofer, and an Onkyo SR705 AV receiver.
I'm very happy with my current setup, with the exception of wanting to
upgrade my subwoofer. My Polk PSW10 has great punch in the low to low-
mid ranges. (When I watch the pod race from SW Phantom Mencace, you
can feel the racer engines starting, and as the ships roar by on the screen
the effect is pretty incredible). My only complaint with the PSW10 is that
it suffers from some port noise/speaker bottoming-out on some LFEs.
Thinking that the PSW110 would be a logical upgrade (twice the power,
similar sized footprint, downward firing port, compression circuitry) I
ordered one. I thought that I would get similar performance minus the
distortion.
However, I was disappointed by the performance of the PSW110.
Compared to the PSW10, the PSW110 suffered from a significant lack of
punch on movies and music. Although you could sense a little better
performance possible for some very low frequencies, it was not enough to
offset the solid punch that you get from PSW10. The same pod racing
scene was very un-inspiring on the PSW110.
Also, I had to adjust the output gain control on the PSW110 to about 3/4
full power just to get a similar output to that of the PSW10 at about 5/8 of
full power.
I'm returning the PSW110.

Great sub |

This is a great subwoofer. It is a little on the bulky side, but sounds
wonderful. We haven't even come close to turning the volume up because
it vibrates the whole house. Would definitely purchase this product again.

What can I say. Its got a nice fit and finish. Like the metal grill. Sound is Great!
It can pump out the bass in a large room with no distortion. It does music and movies well.
