<font color='#000000'>Is the top of the line always the best or worth the extra cost? Example, Yamaha has these Sub-woofers:

150W &nbsp; 8&quot; &nbsp;YSTSW215 &nbsp; &nbsp;$149
270W &nbsp; 10&quot; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;315 &nbsp; &nbsp;$299
Top &nbsp; &nbsp; 12&quot; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;415 &nbsp; &nbsp; $999

With the 110w 2400 will 10&quot; be good enought or if I can afford it is 12&quot; a LOT better, or just a little better? There is a big price jump!</font>

<font color='#0000FF'>All depends on your room size and personal prefference, for HT the rumbling bass is always the WOW! factor.

I have seen the Yamaha YST-SW1500 for as low as $500 on e-bay so do check that source out.</font>

<font color='#000000'>I have a NHT sub I got from Yawa. You will get a FULL warranty because they are authorized to sell. I was shocked by the rumble that came out of this jewel. I used to have two Cerwin Vega 12's, and this one NHT SW-12 is more than twice as good.</font>

<font color='#000000'>A friend of mine has the YST-SW800 in a large room and it sounds great, very loud and distortion free lows…. <img src="http://www.audioholics.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'></font>

<font color='#000000'>I have the 315. From $300 to $900 is a big jump and if you want to spend $900 there are better sub-woofer from specilaist sub-woofer makers. The 315 is excelent value, 250w for $300, and that is why I got it.</font>

<font color='#000000'>Between $500 and $1000, a yamaha sub probably wouldn't be on my short list. &nbsp;I beleive they make nice receivers, some amps, cd players, etc., but their loudspeakers are not necessarily their strong point. &nbsp;If you MUST go with a yammy sub, get at least a newer YST800 model equivilent or higher.</font>
