#28 Yamaha YST-SW215: $399 Discontinued eBay
Pros: A discontinued compact ported 8 inch subwoofer with a side port, adding upper bass support to a modest room. Independent CEA-2010 testing records 74.5 dB at 20 Hz and 109.6 dB through 40-80 Hz. The ported, side enclosure with 8” (203mm) driver is best suited to upper-bass support in a modest room.
Cons: Deep-bass output is limited relative to its midbass result, so it is not the right choice for the lowest movie effects. The 360.2H x 290.3W x 322.1D mm cabinet and 11.5 kg mass still need deliberate placement and calibration. Discontinued.
