4.0 out of 5 stars Good sound, September 1, 2008

By	C. Tsai - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is one of the better wireless subwoofers. I had no problem installing it and the calibration was easy with my Denon AV receiver. I did have one problem however. After a couple of hours the transmitter will start to blink sometimes, indicating loss of lock with the receiver. It was so bad sometimes that I had to contact the BA technical services. We eventually agreed that it was probably defective. Fortunately the Amazon return service was really good, within a week I got a brand new replacement.

The replacement has been working flawlessly and the sound was fantastic. I will recommend it to anyone.

Unless you have a huge room this is one great sub. And the wireless works perfect. There was no other way for me to place the Sub where it needed to be without it being wireless. The is no way you know its wireless. Easy set up and forget it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wireless subwoofer works as expectd, January 19, 2009

By	T. Bell - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In short, my requirements for a subwoofer were modest, and this one is serving just fine. I wanted the wireless connection and a budget price with a recognized name in speakers. After reading other reviews I was a little concerned about possible "popping" noises when the speaker automatically turns on, however I have not had any such problem. The auto-on feature works just fine, and the speaker controls are simple and obvious. So far so good. My expectations are fully met, and the wireless setup could not be better.
