Summary:
When I was initially shopping for a new subwoofer to upgrade from Polk 6750 subwoofer. I ran across a great deal for a Proficient S12. I was concerned about purchasing a subwoofer sight unseen from a company that did not have many reviews, but I convinced myself that Proficient was a reputable company and would stand behind their products.

When I first received the S12, I have to say I was actually pretty disappointed by the unit. The volume output was weak and I was not getting any output below 38Hz. I then wrote into Proficient to see what the issue might be. They really surprised me with their great customer support. My S12 unit was defective and they upgraded me to the latest generation PS12 free of charge. I am very impressed by Proficient's dedication to making their customers happy.

That being said, the PS12 sounds great. It definitely produces astounding bass that shakes the room. With my Infinity Overtures the PS12 sounds equally good for home theater usage and for music. I took a frequency response curve for the PS12 and compares pretty favorably to a Velodyne 12" for a fraction of the cost.

I'm very happy with the performance of my PS12 and Proficient's customer service is really amazing. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
