I will make a more extended review after a few months of use because i believe you can only truely tell about something after a few months of use but still i had to review this thing even after just having it for not that long because i am so impressed by this thing.All i can say is most of what i heard about this sub is true and that is a compliment.Wow this thing is a beast!First of all this is my first time buying a sub.I had another 140 watts sub that was included in a dvd home theater but this 70 watts one seem to beat it even though its suppose to be half the power.I know some people reading this review will think 'oh so its this guy's first sub bought so it probably doesnt take him a lot to be impress and maybe thats why he would find a cheap 70 watts sub impressive'.I might not be a sub expert but i know good sound and i know when a sub is loud and when it sounds powerfull and when it sounds amazing for its price and power output.And this Sub does.Plus i know when electronics are design with quality components and this sub is that.Now lets get this out of the way right from the start.Snob audiophiles who usually buy 600 dollars or thousand dollar subs are not gonna consider this or will laugh at this sub.Cause thats what they like to do.Plus consider this that type of crowd often dont live where they have to consider not disturbing neibhors with theyre subs wich is why they buy theses monster huge subs that output like 500 watts of power and sounds almost the same as what real cinemas use.But for someone who has neibhors around to consider let me tell you this sub is just perfect and to be honest even at that if not carefull with the knob even this sub can get your neibhors to complain about your sub cause this small 70 watts sub from Edifier is a little monster on its own lol.The proof is most people will realise that the perfect setting for this sub most of the time is just turning to volume to about 30 percent and to leave it there lol.You can't even have it half way most of the time so much it is boomy and powerfull.Now lots of people who buy subs like this often complain about it not being very powerfull and stuff but i wonder do they really test it out properly? What do they use to test it? Just watching regular tv signals? lol common thats not the proper test.The proper test for any sub should be first of all to test it with a bluray player playing movies that are known to have good bass and good sound mixes.Thats what i did.I watched a couple of movies known to have great bass sound mixes.The only mistake i made was playing fast and furious 9 as one of the first test.That movie's bass isn't all that great to be honest.I then went with bad boys for life.Wow that's when i saw how good the sub was.This movie has amazing bass and the sub blew me away.I then continued with other great bass movies like 'Tenet',Terminator dark fate,Twisters,Mad max fury road,Furiosa a mad max story(outstanding bass on that one) and yesterday i watched 'ambulance'.The bass was so loud and strong on ambulance that i had to lower it a lot because i could feel it was hurting my ears with it's low frequencies lol.Plus a lot of times watching some of thoses i was a bit worried i would bother my neibhors with the strong bass so much the sub has power and was shaking my floor from time to time.You can tell the company that made this thing is honest about theyre product and believe in it just by the fact that they always sell this sub by stating the RMS power being 70 watts.They never state peak power and hide RMS power like so many other companies trying to make theyre product appear better than it actually is.Edifier doesnt do that because they know they have a good product and don't need to trick people.This sub actually feels like its twice the RMS power of 70 watts.To finish this review i will say that yes i did experience the annoying auto power saving feature that kicks in from time to time lol.But the only times it happened to me was when i was watching something from a signal other than a bluray player.When using a bluray player and watching movies that way it never happened to me even when i paused the movie for a good while.But when using another signal source it did happen a few times and the only way to get the sub out of sleep mode was too put the volume higher on the receiver until it kicked back out of sleep mode.I heard to fix that problem you need to use an RCA Y splitter and connect your receiver to both inputs on the sub so that it gets a strong signal or something like that.I have been using a Y splitter since 2 days so i will let ya know in my next extended review after 3 months if it worked for that.But i have noticed that since using the Y splitter it seemed to have boosted the power of the sub even more if that's even possible lol.It seems now even putting the knob to 30 percent gain seems like its at 50 or 60 lol.So anyways yes maybe the power saving mode might annoy some especially if your not using a Y splitter cable and your not using a source like a bluray player to watch stuff.But i think this beast of a sub is still worth buying.Some reviewers have said that this sub is not for a home theater and only good for a pc set of speakers.That is not the case.Maybe if someone has a huge living room or huge space ya maybe this sub wont be enough but if your living room is average size this thing is definately powerfull enough and this sub is definately good for an average size home theater.And personally i find that its even a bit overkill for a pc setup.Also i forgot to mention that beside the performance of sub it's design and quality is outstanding too.The knobs on the back are perfect.They have a superb feel to them and durable.The fake black wood vinyl wrap looks good too.It has a nice sturdy grill on the front that attaches strongly to it.everything about it says quality made.It feels like this thing will last a good while.
