    OP
    Quoted from parsonsaj:

    I've been watching the price of my go-to subwoofer on Amazon lately and it seems to be stuck at $129. I broadened my google search a little and found this on Ebay:
    ebay.com link » Polk Audio Psw10 Black 10 Monitor Powered Subwoofer New
    I suspect this is a scam since it is obviously too good to be true. I've had good luck with getting refunded for purchases that never shipped in the past, so I took my best shot at it... will report results.

    The PSW10 is a royal piece of poo. Bloaty, boxy, not fast. The only people who want one are pinball people. I have one sitting OUTSIDE near my garbage cans. I'll practically give it away. $39 is more than reasonable. Only fools would pay $129. I bought mine on craiglist like 5 years ago for $50.

    Quoted from yancy:

    Not... fast? I must not be enough of an audiophile to perceive speaker speed.

    I compared it back to back against this pv1d I have. The Polk is boxy low frequency noise. Drums didn’t sound like drums. The underpinning rumbling of the echo of the crowd forget about it. Speed was the word that came to mind because there is a surprising amount of analog detail in bass. It was great on my sttng though. Cream Live at Royal Labert Hall. Not so much.
