Strength:
Especially fun makes the punchy bass in music mode. You can listen very loud and nonetheless the woofer will bring you hard precise BANG and not BOOOM when the source is BANG :-) The other nice thing is that you can also feel the beats of the Yamaha SW515 and thats sometimes unbelievable if U have a look to its price. I'll use it for partys and to make mixes for them. If some people have problems with this subwoofer, they should invest in ideas how to position the woofer correctly. Usually this is a very good powered subwoofer, that also worked very well when we made a party in a shop with 65 m²! Yamaha's SW515 is a deep impressive subwoofer. Something u can feel and listen very loud. |

Strength:
Nice looking sub, the finish is excellence! Not very heavy to move it around.
Weakness:
Plenty of distortions, clipping, flapping and boomy bass. Dosn't feel powerful as what the 270W claim. Not able to reproduce bass to the 20Hz range at useful SPL. At the low end of the bass, it just feels nothing. I purchase this sub after hearing it in their showroom, sounds great, producing bass that you can actually feel. Back home, I did some testing. As this sub is equip with “Advanced YST II (Yamaha Active Servo Technology II)”, it should be able to “drive the speaker cone with even tighter control” as Yamaha claim. With most music, it sounds good, some tight bass, compare to the YST-SW315. If you were to pump it with bass intense music, for example, music from Bassotronics, the flaws of this sub is really going to show. Plenty of distortions, clipping, flapping, very boomy.
