TOSHIBA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THIS FAULTY NOTEBOOK!!.......2007-08-25
I bought this computer for a little over $1,000 in Dec '04 and it worked very well for a while. The screen is crystal clear and it came with a lot of great features. However, after I had it for about 9 months, it started shutting down from overheating. If I run any type of memory intensive program like the CD burner or if I run more than three programs at once (itunes, internet explorer, and microsoft word), the computer will automatically shut down. I used canned air to blow out the fans and lots of dust came out, which solved the problem for a week or so, but it eventually started right back up again. After doing some research on the internet, I found that someone had filed a class action lawsuit against Toshiba for this faulty laptop and won. So now Toshiba extended the warranty to 7 November 2007. If you have an A75 that is faulty, you can still send it in even if your initial warranty is expired. I'm going to send mine in this week to see if it's actually fixable. If not, I'll have to buy another notebook and it definitely won't be a Toshiba! Good luck to those with the same problems!
The Hyundai of Laptop Computers.......2007-07-30
It has been such a huge headache owning this Toshiba Satellite A75-S229, with defects one right after the other. When I first got it, the CD/DVD writer would not work due to a defective optic laser in the drive. Second, 10 months after I got it, the system would shut down by itself without any apparent reason. It wasn't until a few weeks later that I found out from an outside technician that this was due to overheating caused by dust particles getting lodged into the motherboard. However, the Toshiba customer service reps would not admit that.
There are thousands of customers that have had and continue to have problems with the Satellite A75-S229. I would never, ever by another Toshiba. And I would never wish this product on anyone. If there is a Toshiba support group out there trying to learn to cope with living with this product, please let me know.
DO NOT BUY.......2007-07-06
There is a "well known" overheating problem on this model and several others made by Toshiba. You may as well kiss your money goodbye if you buy this product. There have been several lawsuits over this and other similiar Toshiba models! They know the problem and "WILL NOT" do anything to fix it. I wouldnt pay 5$ for one of these things. I kissed 1,400$ goodbye. One year and it was DONE! Do the research and you will see how many others did the same! STAY AWAY!!!!
Great Deal.......2007-01-09
Very powerful computer. Toshiba is probably one of the best brands of notebooks. It was a great deal, the price was low, because it was an "open box". The most unbelievable, it arrived in just ONE day. and I've choosen standart shipment ( I guess the seller was Express Solutions).
DO NOT BUY TOSHIBA!!.......2007-01-06
Since I bought this computer, I have had NOTHING but problems!! They have been out to replace the fans & mother board at least 9 times. It gets so hot it randomly shuts down. Apparetly there a flaw in the design and they are very much aware of the overheating problem. I was told buy a Toshiba manager there is a lawsuit going on with this model as I have begged & begged for Toshiba to exchange this very poorly made laptop but they refuse to do anything. I had it less than 2 months when the problems started!! I will NEVER buy another Toshiba product of any kind.

Monster Ripoff.......2005-12-23
I am convinced that there are three types of people who buy Monster products: 1: Naive buyers who are duped by salesmen into believing that NOT buying Monster Cable will make their expensive DVD player/Home Theater/Etc. purchase utterly worthless. 2: Superstitious audiophiles who believe the ridiculous hype behind Monster products and immediately assume that "more expensive" equals "better," and 3: People who are in need of cable, but can't find anything BUT Monster products, as they dominate the A/V cabling sections of most retailers.
All double-blind listenings tests have shown that high-priced "premium" speaker wire is not a whit better than cheap speaker wire bought at your local Home Depot. Resistance, Inductance, and Capacitance, are the ONLY things that affect cable performance; marketing hype cannot change the laws of physics. All that matters is that the cable is decently shielded, and that cable should be thicker for longer connections to reduce resistance. Ultra high-priced speaker cable is a scam, and it's depressing to see major electronics retailers foisting this "Monster" nonsense upon unsuspecting buyers who don't know any better. Save your money.
Monster Review.......2005-09-02
Great speaker cable as always from Monster!!!!!! Ya get what ya pay for!!!!!
Moster Cable makes the Best Wire Available!!.......2002-06-24
Those cheap, thin wires that come with your speakers do not take full advantage of your stereo. The high resistance of thin wires looses wattage and can make your sound somewhat distortated or lacking depth. If you have a high powered system, a several thousand dollar quality system, or just an every day sony system, you will notice a difference. More power reaches your speakers making more base and less distortion. The thick wire adds depth and can greatly improve overall quality.
Do I use Monster cable? Well, yes, of corse! I have an Onkyo
60 X 5 surround sound reciver with surround sound model
#TX-SV444. I have KLH speakers. 4 satilites, a center, and a 120 watt powered sub. The set is model #SS02-HTIB. I originally had the stock KLH wire hooked up with my system, and it sounded good. But when I added the monster cable, the sound became strong and full of depth. I got much more bass out of the small sattilites, and the highs were noticably clearer.
If I have a choice, I will never buy another brand of wire.
A Definate Upgrade.......2001-12-14
Many people have not had the opportunity to listen to a good stereo with good speaker wire. Let's face it, many people have not had the opportunity to listen to a good stereo. After hooking up the Monster XP speaker wire to my Kenwood 507 Home Theater in a box system, I was truly amazed by the sound quality difference.
I was a little hesitant buying 50 dollar speaker wire - I mean come-on - I'm not made of money here... I just bought a $500 Home Theater system. But it was DEFINATELY WORTH IT. The added bass really enhances the full spectrum of sound. Whether you are listening to electronic music, classic rock, or classical - YOU WILL NOTICE A DIFFERENCE on a good stereo. I did hook it up to my low wattage Aiwa bookshelf system and did not find a huge difference. Maybe a little fuller bass.
When considering buying a good Stereo, Home Theater system, or Speakers - Don't go cheap on the speaker wire. It's like buying a Porche 911 and putting pleather on the seats...why ruin a beautiful thing?
ONE IMPORTANT POINT: Monster offers this wire in a off-white color instead of the clear plastic covers. If you want mount speakers on walls or hide the wire discretly - I HIGHLY RECOMMEND LOOKING FOR THIS COLOR. (...)
You'll notice the difference........2000-12-12
I had some cheap speaker wire running between a great receiver and some decent speakers. I thought it sounded okay, but I wasn't really impressed. I bought some of this cable and as soon as I had everything rewired and turned on the system, I could notice that it sounded better. The bass seemed a lot lower and I was happy with the difference. My roommate also noticed the difference as well. Investing in cables is usually a pretty good idea considering how much interference can be caused by a lack of shielding, and how many cables you usually have running out of the back of a system.

Amazon.com Product Description
Designed for mid-sized rooms, the Polk PSW404 200-watt powered subwoofer makes a great addition to your home theater or stereo system. The sub features a 10-inch long-throw driver that produces a longer excursion and better linearity than most comparably sized models, along with slot-load venting that improves the bass response by dramatically minimizing turbulence, noise, and distortion. The resulting thunderous bass shakes out all the thrills and chills of your favorite movie soundtracks, while its accurate musicality makes you sit up and take notice whether you're listening to rump-shaking hip-hop or a powerful classical piece.
Contributing to the distortion-free bass response is the rock-solid medium-density fiberboard (MDF) housing, which includes a 1-inch-thick front baffle that minimizes panel resonance. Additional features include a hi-roll surround that supports longer excursion; a high-current 200-watt continuous (375 watts dynamic) power amplifier; adjustable low-pass crossover, phase switch, and volume controls; and an auto on/off circuit that automatically turns on the subwoofer when it senses a program signal. If no signal is detected, the amplifier turns off within 15 minutes.
The PSW404, which sports a genuine wood veneer finish in black, includes an unfiltered LFE input for use with low-pass filtered output jacks along with filtered speaker-level and line-level inputs. As a final bonus, the sub is magnetically shielded for safe, flexible placement near a TV or video monitor. The sub measures 13.62 by 14.31 by 16.5 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a five-year warranty on the speaker and a three-year warranty on the amplifier.

Excellent Subwoofer.......2007-08-09
I originally purchased the PSW303 (8") it was a good bass unit but I found it to be under powered and to small for the size room. I only use about 1/4 of the volume on this unit to get clear defined bass. It is an excellent match with the front RM20s and four rear RM10s. Polk makes a solid product that's always dependable and their 3/5 yr warranty is better than almost all the other subwoofer I reviewed. The only problem was I purchased it through Crutchfield. Generally a good merchant but this time they couldn't do anything right. They claim the first one was lost in delivery but UPS had no record it was shipped. It took them three (3) weeks to reship and I'm not certain they aren't going to back charge me for the one they lost, if that's really what happened!!!
NOT Disappointed one bit.......2007-01-24
Besides the compact size and aesthetic appeal, this sub provides all the bass you could desire without compromising on quality. The thing I like most is it's ability to fulfill any audio played and how well it blends. I have no buyer's remorse and would purchase another unit once needed. Cheers!
GREAT sub for the money.......2006-10-22
This is a great sub for small to medium size rooms. Not just for the BOOM & BANG home theater crowd, but a MUSICAL sub that will add that bottom end punch and make the music MUCH more involving. Can think of no better way to upgrade a hi-fidelity system. A LOT of value for money spent. Will make an INCREDIBLE improvement in any system. I own TWO of these units, used in different rooms. Am using them with bookshelf speakers in the $2000/pair range. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Audiophile quality sound.
I PURCHASED THIS SUBWOOFER ON SALE,AS A GIFT........2005-11-02
THIS IS A HONEY OF A SUBWOOFER.IT IS VERY POWERFUL,YET NATURAL SOUNDING.THE ONE THING POLK KNOWS, IS MUSIC.FROM LIGHT CLASSICAL FOLK, ROCK,JAZZ YOU NAME IT,YOU HERE MUSIC,NOT A SUBWOOFER.WHEN YOU POP IN AN EXCELLENT DVD,YOU ARE IN THE MOVIE.THE SYSTEM IS MATED WITH 3 CERWIN-VEGA SPEAKERS,THAT HAVE EXCELLENT SOUND ON THEIR OWN.THE LONG DISCONTINUED POLK PSW250 8 INCH SUB.WAS SIMILAR IN QUALITY OF SOUND TO THE PSW404. FOR MUSIC THE POLKS ARE BETTER THAN THE VELODYNES,IN MY OPINION.A GOOD DEAL.
