no1jmv Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 I am planning on buying the Yamaha YST-SW305 subwoofer. It lists for 299 at most standard online or B&M stores so this price at HypeAudio of 194 + 25 shipping is looking really attractive. HypeAudio Yamaha YST-SW305 Does anyone have any experience with HypeAudio. Is it a good place to buy from? Also any comments on that model subwoofer itself are welcomed. It has gotten pretty good reviews over at www.audioreview.com but if you guys think I can get more for $200 out of a different unit please toss me your opinions. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no1jmv Posted April 4, 2003 Author Share Posted April 4, 2003 Justin! Great to hear from YOU Hey so overall do you think its safe for me to order this from them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin_tx_16 Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Safe yeah, but I don't think I would get that subwoofer. Many better ones out there. Also better places to get it from than Hype Audio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skonopa Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 1) which subwoofers are better at that 220 total price? Yeah, it is tough to find something decent in that price range. The only Yamaha subs I have any experience with is that YST-SW40 that I still use in my setup (left over from my old Infinity/Yamaha setup I had before I got the Klipsch). For such a cheap, little subwoofer, it is actually pretty decent. It produced a nice clean bass without all that boominess. I don't know how good the model you are looking at is. Other models to check out in that price range (all taken from Acoustic Sound Design - a very reputable on-line dealer): Acoustic Research ARS-112PS Acoustic Research ARS-115PS BIC V1215 Powered Subwoofer Polk Audio PSW 202 Powered Sub Polk Audio PWS 303 Powered Sub Klipsch KSW10 Powered Subwoofer JBL PB-10II Powered Subwoofer Some of these are a little more than the $220, but all are still under $300. These are the models I would be looking at for that price range, along with the Yamaha. (Stay away from the gawd-awful Sony "subwoofers" - more like "subfarters"). 2) or where else should i buy the yamaha from? hypeaudio seems to be significantly lower than anywhere else i've seen it. have u seen it cheaper? I have not really seen any myself. As mentioned above, I would look into Acoustic Sound Design for decent prices from a what is considered by many on here a very good and reputable on-line dealer. (although I have never bought anything from them - rather pay the extra money and go through a local dealer whenever I can - I go online as a last resort if what I am looking for cannot be found locally.)
