    JM SW900 Subwoofer

    Hi Mike, So what happened to the subwoofer before it was fixed? Did it not work at all? Because I had to bring mine in for service since it was having some "ticking" sound occasionally. However, after they fixed it, I don't have the "ticking" sound anymore. The technician told me it was...

    Hi Mike, What was your problem with the SUB? I also had a problem with the SW900. But after servicing, it is working fine again. I still love it....:D

    Hi Mike, It seems like you have a very large collection of DVDs. (You even got the French movie "Brotherhood of the Wolf"). Coincidently I got that movie too (but in R4 of course) . LOL, the sound is really good and have a good atmosphere feel, but the movie is so-so. Do you listen to 2...

    Mike, If you have a chance you should listen to other subwoofer in its price range $US1700 - $US2500 and see what is the difference. Do you know if you can have an audition of an SVS sub. Because I really want to know how it compares with this one.I was thinking of getting an SVS sub before I...

    Hey Mike, Yes, I agree with you that the B&W sub is no where near as good all their lower end sub performance is so-so. Except when you get into the B&W 850, which in Australia is about 50% more than the SW900. I do not feel that the performance was that much difference, although I think it...

    Yes Mike, before I bought the SW900, I went nearly all over town looking for a sub. I heard others like, B&W 675, B&W 850 Velodyne 12" (forgot the model), Mission sub (forgot model), Linn Sub, Sunfire. To me the SW900 sounded more musical and blends in more than other subwoofers. Only the B&W...

    Is the other pieces of Electra range speaker performance as suprising as the SW900. Because I am looking to get the center speaker. But no $$$ for now, so thinking of getting CC900 and 906 or 907Be currently. Can't afford the 901 and the 927Be like you have there.

    Actually Mike, At the beginning, I have tried the JMLab SW700, and that was not very impressive comparing to other subwoofer in its price. However, after reading the home cinema choice review, it pesuades me to give the Electra SW900 a listen. After I listened to it, I decided to buy it because...

    Yes Mike, I agree with you. Stats sometimes can be deceiving, because something that plays loud does not necessarily means that it produce the better overall sound. Because sometimes, you can get too much bass which sounds very fake and artificial.

    JM SW900 Subwoofer

    Hey Mike, I was just wondering have you ever heard an SVS subwoofer. There are certainly lots of myths and legends around this brand of sub on the forum. How does it compare with the JMLab?

    Yes, for me they sort of give me a better feel of the bass, especially for movie. It seems to spread out a little bit better with the spike. But that is just what I feel. I know other people in Hong Kong that actually buy better spikes and isolation plates because they notice the difference.

    By the way, did you put the spike on the sub. I found putting spike gives the bass a little more touch of accuracy and focus in the bass

    Hi Mike, Nice post, I owned a JMLab SW900. And what you have just mentioned in the review, is exactly what I want to say. Guessed you have said it 100% correct. Nice info too. :D About the 3dB boost, I didn't turn it on because I am afraid it might add some bominess or distortion to the...
