It's definitely possible to tell the difference between the quality of audio from a shitty subwoofer ($50) vs something that costs $200... Not so much audio as perceived by eardrum but perceptible vibration felt by the body. The cheap one also is likely to rattle its own chassis and feet and vibrate on whatever floor you've placed it on.

- walrus01 5y agoAbsolutely agreed... I'm in the market segment of having a $500 onkyo home theater receiver and a basic 5.1 speaker set (anything else would be a waste in a small condo living room), anything beyond that sees diminishing returns fairly quickly.
