Looking for optimal cost/benefit? by stempomj ,Dec 13 '03
Pros: Fantastic value! PERIOD! You will not be disappointed. Cons: Black plastic now available in Rosewood, so no cons.
We can argue all day about what is better and what is worse in speakers, in this case a subwoofer. Hands down, for the money, this is a sweet piece of gear. I won't get into the qualities that I like about it because you will most certainly find different things to like or dislike. I will say that the sub fades into the background as it goes about doing its job (assuming you don't get carried away with excess bass levels). Transparency is a quality I always look for in any speaker.
Hsu Research has hit an economic harmonic in the ratio of cost versus value/benefit, pleasure, performance...you name it. This is one mean bargain for your subwoofer dollars. The black pebbly finish may turn a few of you "function follows form" types. BTW, a new Rosewood finish is now available for those so inclined to rate this aspect of the sub. It makes no difference to me since the sub is to be heard (felt) and not seen in my book.
