Sony SA-SW3 Compact Subwoofer

Recommended by John Lewis. Getting the £100 discount from Sony as part of our £4000+ purchases was a real problem.

I tried two units, a used one from a big box retailer and a brand new one directly from Sony. Neither could push out bass even close to my 20 year old sub with less than half the power. I went through multiple rounds of tech support only to figure out there must be a problem linking correctly to my STR-AZ5000ES. Perhaps it works better paired with a soundbar, but with an AVR, performance is unacceptable.

More than enough bass comes from the SW3. I would recommend.

Excellent kit, all the bass you should need for watching movies, I use mine with the Sony quad system and at times I have the sub on a minus because there is so much bass, recommended.

Good subwoofer, made good job. Bass it's really nice.
