Product Description

Perfectly matched for the plethora of thin home cinema components such as Plasmas, Flat Screen TV's and Yamaha's very own Digital Sound Projectors, the YST-FSW100 is a great solution for people wanting energetic bass reproduction in a slim box.The YST-FSW100 has a slim, elegant design that will perfectly match thin home cinema components and plasma monitors or flat-screen TVs. Yamaha's newly developed Advanced YST II (Yamaha Active Servo Technology II) combines negative-impedance and constant current principles to drive the speaker cone with even tighter control than previously. Using Advanced Negative Impedance Converter (ANIC) circuits, this system dynamically optimizes effective speaker impedance to maintain excellent linearity. This means more stable and accurate low range response, not to mention higher sound pressure levels, for more natural and energetic bass reproduction. The subwoofer also employs a new design feature called the Half Pipe Port, which further smoothes bass response and minimizes extraneous noise. The powerful, multi-range driver is exceptionally large (16cm; 6.5") for this class of subwoofer. Magnetic shielding means there is no distortion-causing interference when the speaker is placed near a TV or other monitor.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Perfect Match To The Yamaha Sound Projectors, February 3, 2007

If you own one of the Yamaha Sound Projectors, I'm sure you've already determined that a subwoofer is a must to fully enjoy your system. I personally have the YSP-800 (see my review) and it's just not a home theater without the rumble. I have an extra 10" JBL sub that I tried with the YSP-800 but it was too boomy and the timber just was not right so I decided to get the FSW100. As expected, it's a perfect match to the YSP! It provides a clean, subtle bass with out drowning the mid and high tones. The controls located on top of the unit are simple and straight forward. The sleek, elegant design would compliment any flat panel TV and it's a sub you would want to display rather than hide behind a bed or couch. Another nice feature is the System Connector where the sub turns on and off along with the YSP when connected. The silver looks better IMO rather the the traditional black. The only thing that held it back from getting 5 stars from me is it's inability to handle the extremly low frequencies mostly heard in hip hop and rap music. Other than that, it's been able to handle everything I've thrown at it.

The Yamaha YST FSW100 is enough to provide plenty of good bass in a small to medium size rooms and the performance you get for the the price is excellent! If you're looking for a sub to match your Yamaha Sound Projector, look no further.

I have several other expensive subwoofers as part of Home Theater Systems but wanted an inexpensive one for a modest surround system in a guest house.

This Yamaha delivers all the bass you need for a smaller room and at a great price, doesn't weigh a ton and I have mine inside a smallish cabinet behind the cabinet door where it works fine. The bass goes right through the cabinet door.

If you did need to have it exposed -- it looks great -- I particularly like both the design ergonomics and the silver color.

*Disclaimer-I am not an audiophile, nor do I play one on TV*

This is the perfect match for the Yamaha YSP-800 82-Watt Digital Sound Projector, Silver (amazing) in my smallish (Cape Cod) living room. Slim design and plenty of tight clean bass. I never need to turn it up more than 1/2 way. I am very pleased, and my home theater experience never sounded or looked so clean.
