|   Wharfedale Powercube PC-8 subwoofer...anyone uses it? | FreeFall
Apr 3, 2002 4:31 AM | | I just bought this wharfedale moviestar 40+ home theater speakers. This is my first HT speakers and includes Powercube PC-8 Subwoofer. Currently i am pleased with the modus satellites' performance but with the subwoofer(PC-8), since it's my first sub, i cannot tell how good this really is. I hope i can hear from someone who also uses these speakers and tell me how they feel about it. Thanks very much for reply. |

If it is an 8" with a fairly small amp, don't expect it to do miracles. We need reference for comments. How large is your room, do you use it for movies, etc? |

Apr 3, 2002 5:55 PM | | i am using Marantz SR4200 as my AV receiver. And i setup my home theater in my bed room. It's kinda small (10x15 ft). I am having a bit of a problem balancing out the bass actually. Well, at very very high volume, i start to hear some distortion on subwoofer. I also use it both fo movies and music. On music, i guess i can't ask more for my satellite speakers (modus) as though it's quite small, it produces good sound. While my subwoofer is kinda strong on STEREO mode, as i hear vibrating sounds from it. However, on movies, specially a Dolby Digital, the sound is so good. The only problem is the bass is a bit weak (flat) as my friends commented. If i try to increase the sub's volume, it becomes better, but i start to hear some vibrating sound from the bass. |

You also may need to get a new sub, such as the Adire Audio Rava and that should be a night and day difference opposed to what you have now. |

Apr 6, 2002 8:13 AM | | oh thanks, i never thought of a calibration DVD before. As i am actually new to these kinds of stuff (home theaters). But, since my speakers are new, i am not likely to buy another subwoofer for now. But from your comment, does it mean PC-8 wharfedale subs are not as good compared to other brands? |
