'DEEP AND ACCURATE.'

Strengths:
Simple to use, elegant and produces a satisfyingly low frequency response. Little booming, superb on kettledrums and organ music.

Weaknesses:
Not easy to move around and connect to: needs a 3-5cm plinth to stop it rolling onto its cables. Also, an external on-off switch would be good.

Overall:
For size and low frequency sound, it is hard to beat at the price.

'BUY IT. NOW.'

Strengths:
No vibration

Weaknesses:
Acoustic bass

Overall:
I felt a bit bad knocking this at all, cos it doesn’t really deserve it. Looks great. It’s what all subwoofers should look and sound like.
