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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have with Yamaha's sound bar, March 20, 2006

By	Lincoln Gergar "infinity_plus_one" (herenow) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The is perfectly matched for Yamaha's sounds bars (ysp-1, ysp-800, ysp-1000). Get it if you have one! This sub was specifically designed just for the soundbar. There is no other sub so perfectly matched.

This sub produces clear base. Nothing too deep and thumping - but nice clean quality base. If you want a real thumper (and I mean rattle the neighbors windows and set off car alarms), you may want to look else where. This sub is as much sub as any sound conisouir needs.

Using this sub with the sound bar is a must! It allows the sound bar to dedicate itself to the hi and mid-range tones - not wasting speaker space with artificially base. You can't fully appreciate the technology, quality, and clarity of the soundbar unless you also use this sub. They are a match made in YamaHEAVEN.

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect subwoofer, March 11, 2007

By	R. Mendoza - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I cannot imagine anyone not being 100% pleased with this subwoofer. It looks good, it's compact and it provides all the base you need to enjoy a movie or show in your bedroom or studio. It will not take the place of a 10" or bigger subwoofer. I purchased it with the Yamaha YSP1100 speaker. They work perfect together. Most importantly, my wife loves the sound and the look. What more can I say. She hates stero equipment.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Perfect Match To The Yamaha Sound Projectors, February 4, 2007

By	MonsDomain - See all my reviews

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.
