1620923
I can't speak for the Yorkville -- but I know the P1800sx is a product a lot of people have been impressed with. It is fairly new so the "secret hasn't gotten out yet", so to speak -- but as far as I know this is an excellent sub for the money you are paying.Please let me know if you have any other questions,My very best,JenniferMillennium Worldwide

Well I haven't heard the Yorkville LS801P Powered Subwoofer so I cant really say which is better. All I can tell you is the Cerwin Vega power and punch compared to many out there in the market. I would recommend you to go to a store where they have both and try them out and make your best choice.

I looked on Polk's site (suggest you explore more there). Polk indicated the 5000 has a smaller sub woofer, but higher amp power. I think there is a difference in the number (less) smaller drivers as well. When I looked under the "specs" for each system, Polk doesn't make it easy to make direct comparisons. That's the best I can offer - scour Polk's site.

I really can't help you I also have a pair of PL-200 powered subs for my home theater system so I don't just use just the PL-89. But I do love the speakers the highs are extremely good and they go loud and still sound good. I hope it is helpful for you.

There is definitely a difference between the '600WH and the '800WH. The '800WH has a fuller and richer sound. For that reason I use the 2x '800WH up front and 4x '600WH as the surround speakers.

You saw the review I hope. Honestly I blew the damn things out in 2 months, save your money and get the pv118. Things have passable cabinets and crap woofers. You put these in a mild outdoor situation and they're FUBAR

This model seems to have better sound response and seems to be more eficient. I have it as the front speakers in my living and the rc80i as the surround and it's a good combination. In my opinion. Hope this helps!!

I have the Yamaha RX-A830 that I'm running with four of the Infinity Reference R162s. I added the XPA-200 for the front pair - it makes a noticeable difference. There was definitely a lot of tweaking involved, you need to devote time to adjusting the settings to meet your preferences. That said, if you are deciding between a power-amp and a subwoofer, I would suggest getting a subwoofer. I got the XPA-200 then added a sub. The XPA made a big difference, the sub made a larger difference. Between the RX-V663 and the R162s, you have a solid foundation for a good system - if you're comfortable devoting more capital, then I think you'll be happy with the investment in a sub and/or a power amp. As far as power amps go, I found the XPA-200 to be the best value for new products, though I'm intrigued to hear others' thoughts. I am a very happy customer.

Using the Energy ESW-8HG 8" 200 watt Take Classic subwoofer - just because I like to pair things if I can, sounds very good overall.Enjoy

I put these in old Community Floor Monitors and they played well with the original horn. Not a lot of bass but that may be from the design of the cab. For stage monitors I don't want a lot of bass anyway. Let the subs do the bass for the venue. I Prefer EV or JBL to Cerwin Vega for mains. I'd recommend the higher end EVs if you can afford them. JBL are easily overdriven and damaged if you are not careful in your setup and mixing.

Hello Gabriel, In regards to your question concerning the VP 1800, I also have the 1800 and I use the Behringer Super-X Pro CX2310 Crossover which has a dedicated subwoofer output. This crossover performs well and is also reasonably priced.

I tried this one and the 12 version and both were awful. For a few dollars more , the front firing 475 watt 12 in is way better. I ended up with that and the acoustech pl 200 is amazing for the money. Do yourself a favor and cough up the extra $175 and get pl 200. Its really worth it. The Polk is better of the two you asked about but no where in the same league as the pl 200.

I can't speak for the Leviton AEH50, but I love this Boston system. The subwoofer is often the difference between these systems at this price point, and so far I am extremely happy with the sub.

No. I had cerwin vega speakers that were 15 yrs old and still looked new. As long as they're in a good environment u will have no problems

I would recommend you a higher amp! 2300 would be better if you want to add a subwoofer

My "go to" recommendation is the Definitive Technology Studio Monitor 450's. They are manufactuer discontinued, but you can still get a pair from Amazon Prime. They've got an unbelieveable response of 24 Hz to 30 kHz - - unheard of for a small book shelf speaker. The secret is a 10 inch pressure activated subwoofer mounted on the side of the unit. Best speakers I've ever heard. Don't take my word for it: go listen to a pair before you buy if you can. Max power input 225 watts. 13 inches tall and 11.44 inches deep.

More power and a bigger subwoofer. Definitely a much better system. We like ours, very well. Hope this helps. Ted

Undestood. In that case if you have space If I were you I would put the L820 on the surround back and the 810 on the surround left and the surround right, by the way I could change the LC1 for a LC2 (Remmember that the center speaker manage aprox 50% or so of the sound, worth it) and for the subwoofer Cerwin Vega XLS 12S
