Is this sub better than Corsair's SP2500 sub with a Yamaha A-S501? Does it give a 'chest-thumping' bass at high enough volumes?

The Diamond is powerful,majestic and has a quality HiFi performance. For chest thumping sound you need a lime green Corsa:-)

Accepted Answer

yes you will be VERY happy with this sub... its very well built & goes low,, fantastic value

Question 4

Mine has a constant hum from the Power Supply unit (even when not connected to receiver). Is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Try an extension lead with EMI & RFI filtering and loop the signal leads round in ferrite filters, if you're using them on a home cinema amp try getting hold of mini AC plugs that fit the switched sockets on the back then they will be cut off when the main amp is on standby... the hum is something you might also hear on the main speaker channels if you have a turntable on your system plugged into a phono stage on the amp, and if this is the case it's something you have hooked up causing it, in the past I had bother with phono ground noise caused by an audio cd recorder, Aiwa VCR, grundig satellite and a pace sky digibox 1, technics MD recorder also caused it while the Sony MD didn't...

Power line ethernet adapters and power line WiFi extenders, power line smarthome products that inject damaging radio frequency interference and noise into power lines cause this (BT WiFi extender disc with the hub 8 & direct fibre doesn't use the power lines so that won't cause it), try unplugging things hooked up to the amp first and you might identify what's causing it, I've never had anything to complain about with wharfdale in 30 years of using their products
