Price Paid:  $400.00 from El Palacio de Hierro

Summary:
This subwoofer is much better than others presented by Cerwin-Vega. I think the RL Series were a serious intent of this brand to make decent sounding speakers. This sub is capable of producing high amounts of articulate bass, not very boomy. It has a pair of high-efficiency 8" woofers that work like if you had a 15". Its desing saves space and increases WAF. In fact, WAF was the fundamental reason that made me pick this sub instead a PSB Subsonic 6. With music you have to low the volume because it tends to color the sound. In movies it gives you a real illusion in explosions and you actually get scared with the effects, like the scene in Resident Evil Apocalypse when a Van crashes the cientific's daughter car.

Strengths:
Lots of bass, powerful true 200 watt amplifier. Nice looking woofers.

Weaknesses:
Tends to color the sound of music. But i think its mainly because its location in the listening room

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

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.
