Summary: As much Bass as you want
Review: I always dreamed of a "real" subwoofer...and I found it ! I coupled a Yamaha E-250 with the JBL PB10 and listening to the system is a pleasure every day. Whether it's Jazz, Rock, Techno or Drum and Bass, the sub can find the lowest frequencies. There are numerous control at the back to set it at the level you need. I haven't cranked it up to the max yet as books start to fall from my bookshelf when it's set at 2/3. At half volume, the lamps on the first floor shake...you better have neighbor living far from you.I also own a Klipsh subwoofer for my hometheater but it doesn't compare. As for the humming sound, the PB10 as been in my bedroom for a year and i must be deaf bacause i haven't noticed anything.

Review: I am an audio novice, but the setup was straightforward. It works well with my Onkyo amp. However, there is a low-level hum as mentioned in an earlier post, when the music is off. Therefore, I use a power strip to shut it off when I'm not playing music. The profile is reasonable enough to fit in the built in wooden cabinets. Seems like a good value.

Summary: Problems from the start... too bad, because it sounded great
Review: I bought this sub about 2 years ago. It sounded better than the Polk and all other brands in the price range. I was happy with it for about 6 months. Then there was loud buzz... and then nothing. I got it repaired under warranty, and it was great... for another 6 months. This time, the speaker blew after the loud buzz that occured after my power came back on after an outage. I got a new speaker (after paying some nifty shipping fees). It was great for about another 6 months until... you guessed it... loud buzz, and the amp blew. I'm not about to try to have it fixed again. I'm surprise they gave me warranty coverage for the second repair. At that time, I suggested they just give me a new one, but they refused. I've read tons of reviews on different sites, and it appears that SIMILAR PROBLEMS IS VERY COMMON, EVEN WITH THE PB12. You think they'd recall the things. All of this said, if yours happens to work, it will be great buy. As for me, I'm never buying another JBL product.

Summary: Adds extra personality to my classical music listening
Review: I have coupled a JBL PB10 to my Cambridge Microworks (which produce decent bass down to 45-40Hz) and my listening pleasure has increase twofold. They produce good bass, as advertised: down to 30(27)hz. Placement of the unit is critical for appreciating them fully. I have owned various Hi-Fi speakers (including Bose 901, Tannoy, Whaferdale) and I can say that the JBL is an excelent buy -and complement -that I'm enjoing a lot.

Review: I recently bought this sub and I'm very happy that I payed a little bit extra to get the cool looking lights on front. Playing through my Harmon Kardon reciever I have found none of the humming or popping that another reviewer mentioned. Just pristine, clear bass. The amp has quite a few knobs you can tweak, including crossover frequency, phase shift, and of course level. Sounds great with movies and backing up my tower speakers for music. Buy it.

Summary: JBL PB10(150 watts)/JBL PB12(250watts)
Review: I've listened to the pb 10 and own the pb 12 the only difference is one has a little more to it than the other, Iam pushing it with an Onkyo DS 797 it sounds great except for the low level hiss when the unit is off/ I have exchanged it once but still the same flaw but the hiss noise is soooo low it is not that serious.. But, I am currently thinking about switching to the velodyne foundation series subwoofer, to see if there are any mfg defects... otherwise a very solid performing and built sub!
