Yamaha was always in the top 5 instrument manufacturers so wouldn’t expect less than what this subwoofer can do. Personally I didn’t have any Yamaha before so this is the first time. I tried to buy Onkyo or Denon as I have Denon receiver but not disappointed with this Yamaha at all. The bass is soo nice and coming from very deep. I don’t know how will work with other receiver/amplifier but works very well with Denon. Very good value for money.
