Some things are worth the wait, and if you're a fan of AV123 you've been waiting for the MFW-15 for a very long time. Well, the MFW-15 has finally been released and AV123 couldn't be prouder. The ~100 pound MFW-15 subwoofer, starting at $599 each, features a 25mm front baffle and plenty of bracing along with a custom designed 15” driver, 350 watt high efficiency design amplifier with separate control panel for Level, Phase and Low Pass Frequency at the top back of the cabinet and an internally folded slot port.

RBH Sound TK-5CT Floorstanding Speaker Review

Winner of the Audioholics 2007 Product of the Year Tower speakers under $1k, the RBH Sound TK-5CT's are among the best we've heard in this price class. Their ability to deliver clean unadulterated sound quality with plenty of bass makes them ideal for someone looking to assemble a cost effective home theater system that also does music equally well. You owe it to yourself to demo these at your local dealer or take a plunge online with the virtually identical EMP Ef30T offering at the Audioholics e-store.

Tech Article: High Output Subwoofers - Whats New for 2008
by Gene DellaSala — last modified September 05, 2008 13:22
While scouring CEDIA, it was pretty impossible to get away from the boom generated by all the active demos competing to get noticed in a crowed noisy show floor. Since bass waves travel through walls, you can rest assured that those companies engaged in bleeding edge design will get most noticed by folks walking by. That being said, companies such as Paradigm and JL Audio put forth elaborate demo rooms to showoff their new product lines. We took the time to take a listen and did not walk away disappointed. Check out new high excursion subs from Paradigm JL Audio, Monitor Audio, Velodyne and many more..

Chrysalis Acoustics - a subsidiary of Velodyne has introduced a new high performance compact subwoofer line called the Photon Series. The Photon-8 outputs some unexpectedly deep bass at very respectable SPL levels while still maintaining a characteristically musical sound quality. If one is in the market for the smallest subwoofer possible but demands big subwoofer performance, this is a solid solution and is highly recommended.

Pro Review: Sunfire HRS-12 Powered Subwoofer Review
by David Waratuke — last modified March 24, 2008 07:45
To get good monster bass, usually some fairly mongo subs are required. It is rare to find a sub this small that can not only provide copious bass output, but also can provide deep and accurate bass output as well. While not cheap by some standards, the HRS-12 subwoofers do an excellent job balancing the design and providing outstanding performance without skyrocketing the price. . Considering that the HRS-12s can easily provide better than two thirds of the performance of subs like the Fathoms at a mere one third of the price, the HRS-12s are a well engineered, high value product that represents a very good bargain for anyone looking for extreme levels of bass performance at less than extreme prices.

First Look: Anthony Gallo Acoustics TR-3 Subwoofer
by Tom Andry — last modified January 04, 2008 08:01
Anthony Gallo Acoustics (AGA) unveiled its newest and most powerful subwoofer, the TR-3, today. The TR-3 improves upon many of the existing popular characteristics of the TR-2, such as an integral bass equalizer that goes up to 6dB of low bass boost, with a total output of 300 watts RMS. The cylindrical steel enclosure mirrors AGA’s spherical technology that allows for smooth, yet powerful, bass from 22Hz to 180Hz. The TR-3 has a continuously variable low pass filter from 50Hz to 180Hz, with a fixed 80Hz high-pass filter on high-level output.

Pro Review: HSU Research VTF-3 MK3 Subwoofer Review
by Mark Sanfilipo — last modified October 22, 2007 19:23
The Hsu Research VTF-3 Mk3 is a well designed product, packing a terrific driver, obviously crafted with an emphasis on the basic features that are important to deliver maximum bang for the buck in a product in its price class. Within its limits, it did a number of things exceptionally well. Add to all that product support, a very useful, interesting manual and small enough to fit comfortably in all but the tiniest locales and in the VTF-3 Mk3 you find a truly top-flight product and an excellent investment for the discerning movie and music lover. I was consistently surprised by how well Dr Hsu managed to get this thoroughbred with a 12” driver to perform on a consistent basis. I’ll close with a strong buy recommendation; buy two if the budget allows for it!

First Look: Axiom Audio EP400 Subwoofer First Look
by Gene DellaSala — last modified October 15, 2007 13:17
At the Audioholics 9th Annual State of the CE Union Event, Axiom Audio introduced and demoed their newest member of the DSP subwoofer family. The compact high performance EP400 subwoofer delivers bass extension as deep as 17 Hz in smaller rooms such as dens or bedrooms, using a much smaller enclosure than a conventional subwoofer. Axiom proved in their demonstration at our 9th Annual State of the CE Union Show that this little sub can certainly hit the low notes with aplomb.

At the Audioholics 2007 State of the CE Union Event, Emotiva introduced the DRS-1 Subwoofer/Amplifier System, consisting of two subwoofers and an amplifier with auto room correction. Known for their rock solid amps and pre/pros, Emotiva is now jumping into the market with aggressively priced speakers, including this subwoofer system.

Overall, the SC-IW subwoofers performed well beyond my expectations and erased any preconceived notion that I had about in-wall subwoofers. It rivalled the performance of many good 10-12-inch freestanding box subwoofers making it the best in-wall subwoofer system I have heard or installed to date. I highly recommend the SC-IW subwoofer and SC-1250 amplifier to home owners, custom installers, and designers that wish to maintain the minimalist design trend without performance sacrifice. –Bravo Velodyne!
