Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $350.00 from Welington

Summary:
While I was shopping for something, don't remember what exactly and saw this sub on sale, from 799NZD to 345NZD! After few hour unsuccessful Googling I didn’t find too many review online. But for this price I could not be wrong... So I bought this sub. 12", 150w, selectable LP filter (35-85Hz, in 10Hz steps), phase switch (0-180). Sub level control, line-in, line-out (full range) and speaker inputs.

How does it sound?
First impressions - awesome, especially for movies. You can actually feel the movies, and I have sub level on the min! :). Interesting, that sub for this price range, delivered a good performance on music material. In Wharfedale specs frequency response is 35Hz .. 95Hz (-6dB). That’s for sure is overrated. 35Hz you can barely feel (-9dB I would say), but there are not a lot of _music_ bellow 40Hz anyway.

Strengths:
Price, 12" sub, 150w, line-out. X-over (sounds like 18dB/oct?).

Weaknesses:
Lack of low frequency extension below 35Hz, build quality.

Similar Products Used:
Axiomaudio, Klipsch, Pioneer, Wharfedale. Lots of custom built car-audio subs.

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.....

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.
