Any suggestions for a good subwoofer match to use with this receiver for TV and movies in a 20x15 room?

I am using a Polk Audio RM-7 "8 inch powered sub woofer. My room is only 12X15 and my wife hates it! She is not a fan of a lot of bass. But when she's not around, and I turn it up, it is more than enough. The Yamaha, it seems to me, has less bass output in its normal configuration than my old Onkyo system, but you can adjust it easier with the Yamaha. I would think any good name Sub would do fine.

Absolutely yes! I did the same thing with my output of my theater receiver and the bass sounds much better running 2 subs. This particular splitter is great quality and very durable.

For a soundbar with the speakers of such small size, the low end response is very good-particularly for apartment living. However, ML does make a subwoofer that could accompany this. For louder or more demanding music or movie listening, a good subwoofer (there are many that would be computable) would be a welcome addition.

IMO, that isn't very good advice if you're using the system mostly for movies/TV. Most movies are mixed in 5.1 discrete channels so the sounds you'd hear from your R/L surround speakers won't be reproduced by your front or center speakers. Using the surrounds will give you a much better movie viewing experience evenif you have a small room. You cam omit setting up the back speakers as they will be matrixed from the L/R surounds on most movies so you won't be missing too much. Based on this poor advice alone, I'd consider hiring a different HT tech.

I just recently purchased a new Pioneer VSX-921-K at a bargain price of $230 to go with the LG 55LW5600 and now have 7.1 sound hooked up. That great picture now has good audio to go with it. The powered subwoofer can really thunder in our great room with its 20 foot high ceiling.

It'd be better to get a 2 channel or 1 channe monol. This isn't exactly made for subwoofer. Look for 1600.2

I bought a Samsung 120 watt sound bar with a subwoofer but the TV speakers are better than I expected. I also bought a Sony blue ray player and would definitely recommend optical audio and video cables. But their are rca inputs in the TV.

You could purchase a matching tower to your left and right front channel speakers I have not noticed a tinny sound. But my room is smaller and I do not crank the volume You could also try a Polk or Klipsh(disclosure theypurchased Jamo and now mfg. that brand and line) Those would be at the lower range of cost between 2 and 3 hundred I still think matching is you best option

if it has a sub output on the receiver it will work just fine, you can adjust the sub for what ever you are going to use it for music or movies

I agree with yaadman01. Great for music and movies, but limited on bass at louder volumes. For deep bass you are going to need a subwoofer which I have. I replaced an old pair of full range Infinity speakers (same size, two-way) and was pleasantly surprised by the sound. Bright highs from the 3/4" high-freq driver and full mid range and mid bass from the 5-1/4" low-freq driver. I set the speaker size to small with the crossover at 80Hz on my 90W/channel receiver to protect with movies. P153s are rated at 10 - 100W and 58Hz - 20kHz. Hard to go wrong for the price per speaker considering the pair I replaced was three times as expensive. Limited warranty is 5 years parts and labor.

I would recommend a sub and surround speakers. I use a sub and it sounds great. I also got the matching center channel which is awesome too.

My living room is 14x18 with a Onkyo 7.1 surround system and it works very well for me!

Yes, the SUB1200 is by far the best value sub in the $150 or less range. You get more power and a deeper range, which gets you much closer to that true movie theater bass.

Mine are set up in a room 15x20 and they do fine. Of course, this is a subjective area based on preference. I suggest you can always add more speakers if you're not satisfied. I did add a second sub because I love the vibrations when watching a movie.

Yes, it would be a good match. You hear much more out of a center speaker versus surround speakers so going high quality makes sense (I consider this a high quality center speaker). If you're wondering about balance, the receiver you have should be able to handle it just fine.

The receiver you have indicated has all the speaker connections to accomodate the speakers you mention. The speaker wire which comes with the set is pretty pathetic, so I would suggest investing in a spool of 16 ga wire, 50-100 feet depending on your needs. The wire for the subwoofer is on the smallish side, but it seems to work OK.
