"fostex PM05SUBMKII"
I got the Fostex PM05SUBMKII subwoofer to go with my Yamaha HS50 Monitors. I love the Yamaha HS50s for it's honest and revealing sound that has resulted in very clean mixes. But the excellent highs and mids from the 5" woofers lacked some low end bass. I had to review my mixes in my car and hear the bass though my car stereo subwoofers.
With the Fostex PM05SUBMKII I can hear the bass in the mix and I'm happy to say that my final mixes in are very good sounding in comparison with other popular CD in my collection.
I'm very happy with the sound of my Yamaha monitors with the Fostex Sub and I'm happy to hear the bass in my final mixes sounding great and up to the quality of other hit CD recordings. It really doesn't take much low end to fill out the Yamaha monitors. The bass is very clean and consistent ounce the volume is set.
It came in just in time to complete my next project!

"Clear and accurate"

I will probably upgrade to a larger sub sooner or later because I'm a bass fanatic, but for now this sub does the job.
Sound
Very clear and accurate response. I was surprised at the power of this small sub. If you want serious bass you should get a larger sub but for mixing and mastering purposes this one will serve you well. Very low frequencies (below 40Hz) will not respond as well as on a larger sub, but the clarity and accuracy of this sub makes up for it. Cutoff is at 75Hz and is not adjustable.
Quality
Very strong construction, heavy too. Looks great with the matching speakers.
Value
For the price, excellent deal.
