I use it in a living room of 20m2 coupled with RX-900 & Focal Aria since 3 weeks.After many tests I prefer to used in closed mode to not have an uncontrollable sound level. I also note that the sub requires a good RCA cable to play sound with more subtlety in general a good guarantee of quality. Pro: - Build level - bass quality & goes down low - No lag or extend of the sound Cons: - Auto power mode requires 1 hour to go in standby after cut of the signal. - Neighbours :)

Pro: - Very good output from a small box - The bass quality is very good - Nice quality finish - Tuning options really helpful to adapt it to what are you listening and the room - Club level output with both ports open in a small to medium room - Overall a very good product so far (only had it and tested it for a few days) Cons: - A variable subsonic filter would have been nice some songs limit how much you can turn the volume up due to over excursion on low frequencies especially in closed mode. The EQ helps a little but not much. I managed to overcome this as I play all audio from the PC and used the free APO EQ with a parametric equalizer set to -50 DB on 5Hz and 10Hz. - Over excursion is present also above port tuning so with frequencies that are below 30 Hz you must be very careful with the level of Gain set on the subwoofer. - From what I tested there is no limiter to prevent driver damage so be carefull

It took me a long time to think about what a subwoofer I want to get me and only after a long search I had the idea to look look at the XTZ subs. What can I say ... I was not disappointed. The sub is mainly used for movies and series but I also use it to play techno and other sub-genres of electronic music. The bass is precise and accurate. The Auto-On / Off works fine and he makes me happy every day. I would buy it again in any case

http://www.xtzsound.eu/product/sub-10-17 Hello guys I replaced my XTZ 8.16 subwoofer with an 10.17 subwoofer. The old one 8.16 doesnt retired it goes to an friend of mine that is very happy now. He is happy but Im so excited with my new 10.17 sub. Ill write more but for now just keep in mind that this one is an beast it literally shake the room but also can sustain an jazz song so beautiful from background... My neighbors are not very happy :)

I firstly ordered the Canton AS 85.2 SC active subwoofer (200/250 Watt) because it had very good reviews and ratings in all tests. Unfortunately I was very disappointed with the Canton. It began to chatter at mid SPL and basses were partly very soft and not precise. So I decided to order the 10.17. That sub really has a very good transient response maximum bass high dynamics it plays rock / metal with rich bass as well as drum and bass techno minimal etc. Even with acoustic singer/songwriter the bass is never intrusive. I am more than satisfied. Clear purchase recommendation for ambitious amateur music listeners.

I was in the market for a new sub for a while but did not find something that really worked for me until I stumbled on the 10.17. It really delivers both in terms of definition and power. Balances perfectly with my existing speakers all at a very reasonable price. Was a no brainer for me.

Well what can i say about this bad boy As a former XTZ W10.16 user i was unsure if there was much more to get for the money in the same pricerange. Well i gave it try and bought a Sub 10.17. Unboxing it was as usual with packages from XTZ. Well packaged and the supplied cloth gloves just tell you -This is a expensive product. Out from the box even before i even had the time to play it for xx hours i immediately noticed some drastic improvment in the sound. Both deeper and more responsive then my old W10.16. And thanks to the smaller measurement it looks better in the living room- So thats one more big plus from the lady in the house. More bass for me and a satisfied lady in one packages it cant be better. Overall. I wont ditch my old W10.16 not for now anyway. But in a near future i will buy one more Sub 10.17 to fill up the space in the living room and enjoy to life of surround sound. I cant give the Sub 10.17 a 5 star because a 5 star means i will never see a better subwoofer then this. And that would not be fair to XTZ since they will keep deliver better products as time and technology keep going on. My final verdict is -Theres a new kid in town and hes here to kick ass!

Bought this for its great tuning possibilities. My house is made of stone/concrete also challenging material for acoustics. I have been very pleased with sub 10.17 and will definitely recommend it.

I love strong bass in any type of music. However the bass was always a bit too less at my conventional stereo speakers. This subwoofer has solved the problem. On the back there are knobs for bass volume phase and crossover-frequency for optimum adjustment of the bass to the other sound. I furthermore love the EQs that you can use to adjust the sound. I personally use the REF-EQ since this one has the most deep bass and provides the best results for me. For this price the 10.17 is an unbeatable investment. Even classical music now sounds better.

At last its over with cheap subwoofers which where only creating some boomy and loud bass but never with quality. Previously I had two large floorstanding speakers from Magnat which also had a nice bass performance but they cannot compete with the 10.17. I am really surprised what this relatively small subwoofer can do in the deep bass. It really plays extremely deep and accurate I love it. It does a really great job also with low volume. I operate the sub along with 5 95.22 and this combination is really doing a great job in my home cinema. Movies are realistic and it is even great to listen to concerts. I bought the 95.22 because auf the ribbon tweeter and was really curious how good the ribbon would be in this rather cheap speaker. The smootheness of the tweeter is really great and also the richness of the sound. 5/5 stars!
