Vizio VSB210WS Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer Review [0.25] by Aaron Howard,July 23, 2009 10:44

Good deal or not, if America believes they are getting a deal, the product will be successful.

Velodyne SPL-1200 Series II Subwoofer Review [0.25] by clint,October 31, 2006 10:25

What makes a good subwoofer? For some, it’s heart-stopping bass with the ability to topple small children. For others, it’s reproduction of such low frequency waves that ocean mammals are summoned to beach themselves during intense passages. For myself, however, I like a “musical” subwoofer that blends well with my reference speakers and doesn’t sound like a tone generator capable of reproducing only a single note. Musical subs are fun to listen to and provide definition and quality to low frequency content. Without a musical sub, you end up with “thump” and little definition below 80Hz.

Sealed vs Ported Subwoofers: Which Is Right For You? [0.24] by smunz,April 01, 2014 05:00

Sealed vs. ported subwoofers is an epic grudge match in the audio world. Stereotypes run rampant: it's not uncommon to hear statements like "sealed subwoofers are tight and musical while ported subwoofers are slow and plodding", or "sealed subwoofers just don't have enough low end power to deliver big effects on today's blockbusters". Unfortunately, stereotypes fail to tell the whole story. If you're interested in learning the real deal on how sealed and ported alignments compare and contrast, keep reading.
