Great Sound, Little Package.......2007-05-29

I purchased this to replace a passive sub woofer. I am very impressed with the power of this subwoofer considering its small size. My room is 15' by 20' and the subwoofer fills it with clean bass which can rattle the windows without making music or dvds sound muddy.

8" sub with punch.......2007-01-09

This sub is a nice buy for the money. It outperforms any 8" sub in its class for the money, and some 10" subs I have heard. The punch from the bass is tight and accurate, and can adequately compliment a surround system in any small to medium sized room. Its small size lets it blend into the decor, but without sacrificing sound.

Best value on the planet.......2006-12-25

I just purchsed this sub as part of the PRIMUSHCSCH Home Theater Pack of speakers. Look at (professional) reviews of the Infinity Primus speakers and you'll see these speakers were created for musicality first, although home theater sounds great, too. I first and foremost want a system that sounds tight and clear playing at all registers. I love the timbre of an upright bass more than the shaking of the floor in a movie explosion, and this sub is phenomenal at both. This system delivers in all respects. It includes 4 Primus 140 bookshelf/sattelites and one center speaker as well as the sub. This package without the sub sells around $300, but look for the one with sub included and you will be blown away by the sound and the price.

very very good for the size.......2006-12-17

I first purchased a polk 10" 50 watt powerd sub. It sounded muddy. Returned it for the infinity 8" and i kept it. Got it on sale at circuit city for $160.00 .Very pleased, has a cleaner, defined sound even at lower volumes. Bass is very good.

Big punch in a small package - Extraordinary Value.......2006-10-06

I replaced a JBL subwoofer that was twice the size of the Infinity PS-8. I am a fan of JBL equipment, especially their bookshelf speakers. The JBL sub had dual 6.5" drivers that fired down. I put carpet coasters under the legs of the sub so the drivers would remain far enough above the carpet to move without bottoming-out on the carpet. I even put a board under the sub, but took it out soon after becasue it made no difference. The sound was always kind of muddy with the JBL. I never got that tight bass I like so much when listening to The Police and other bass-heavy music. The sub was great for movies that had a lot of wall-shaking bass. This sub could rattle the walls, but it lacked definition, which I refer to as "tight" bass sound.

I would have thought the JBL's 6.5" drivers would be better at the upper bass range than a larger driver, but it was not so. The amp went bad recently, and kept blowing fuses even with no input signal, and with the power swith in the off position and the volume dial turned all the way down. When I plugged it in, the sub just hummed loudly until the fuse blew. After looking for crossed wires in the electronics (I had to remove the amp plate), and blowing three fuses during tests, I finally gave up. The JBL gave me 8 years of service, but its time had come. Rare failure for JBL gear. I didn't know what I was missing, though.

This sub is used in my family room for music and home theater. It's a modest setup. 30" Zenith HDTV, JBL G200 2-way bookshelf speakers with 6.5" woofers. JBL center and surround satellites (with dual 3" drivers). I have a JVC 65-watt receiver (about 12 years old) that has Dolby Pro Logic I (5.1), but not Dolby digital, a dedicated subwoofer-out channel (RCA jack) but no LFE out. The JVC is next on my list to replace.

My family room is 14 x 23, in a single-family home with standard 8' ceilings. The sub sits in the front right corner of the room beside a wall and an oak cabinet built into a brick wall next to a fireplace.

The difference in quality after switching to the Infinity is remarkable. And the latest pricing makes it the best deal I have seen for under $300. The MTX and Sony subs in this price range can't compare. Polk is good, but at a much higher price for comparable quality. Velodyne starts at more than twice the price. The MSRP of $299 for the Infinity is now half of that on Amazon. I don't know if they are coming out with a new model, but when it comes to subwoofers, there are not a lot of breakthroughs from one year to the next. The new Infinity model, if there is one on the way, will not likely be better quality, but it will have the new model price tag, much closer to its MSRP.

Infinity is a very well respected brand, and if that name doesn't impress you, remember that Infinity is a Harman Kardon company. I have an HK AVR65 receiver with Carver HT speakers in my basement rec room. Awesome. But back to my family room.

Not only is the Infinity PS-8 crisper, it is also louder and richer than my JBL. The JBL sub did not have a crossover dial, but the Infinity has one. I can set the sub to handle all the bass below the 55kHz low end on the bookshelf speakers. Actually, I set the sub to handle everything 100kHz and below, because I don't think the 6.5" drivers of the bookshelves can handle low bass as well as the 8" Infinity driver. Even at 150kHz and below, the sub easily handles all the frequencies. It's nice to have that flexibility. For movies, I set the sub lower than for music, so the sub is dedicated more to the wall-shaking frequencies than the high bass.

Bottom line. Buy it. Love it. Live it. No regrets.
