, Mar 19th 2013 Discuss [0]

The cheaper, matte black version of Sonos' SUB has finally gone on sale, though you'll need to be fast to save $100 on the wireless subwoofer. Promised back at the SUB's reveal in May last year, but missing in action since then, the original plan was to have the matte-finish SUB offered for $599 and the gloss version - which we reviewed here - sold at a premium. However, manufacturing plans scuppered that idea, but Sonos has thrown up a limited number of the matte models in a temporary sale. Read The Full Story

With the newest member of the family, the Sonos SUB, you’ve now got an earth-rumbling bass component in addition to a couple of sets of high-quality speakers and several center points – dock, bridge (hub), amplifier, whatever you want. The big question you should be asking yourself here is not just if you want to work with the magic that is the SonosNet wireless mesh network, but if you feel its necessary to pick up more than one of the Sonos family components.

Logitech Speaker System Z623 slaps THX badge on 2.1 audio setup

, Aug 25th 2010 Discuss [0]

Logitech don't seem to be able to stop themselves from launching new speaker sets, but then given the company is an accessory manufacturer it's probably an addiction that is actually helping to pay their mortgage.  Latest is the Logitech Speaker System Z623, a 2.1 setup that's been THX certified so you can probably have more than a little confidence in the quality of the audio (we say that not having listened to it ourselves, of course).

I think that most people who listen to music on their iPod, notebook, or netbook will agree that most devices lack seriously in the bass department. Notebooks and netbooks are often worse than the iPod and other MP3 players. Read The Full Story

Space tulip, Minority Report prop or achingly expensive home audio equipment: all suitable descriptions for Bang & Olufsen's latest attempt to squeeze the very last drops from our wallets.  The $2,000 BeoLab 11 subwoofer pairs two 6.5-inch drivers with a 200W Class D ICEpower amp and covers a user-adjusable 33 to 300 Hz range.

Twelve South BassJump delivers easy 2.1 sound to your MacBook

, Nov 24th 2009 Discuss [0]

The not-so-great thing about Macs is that third-party accessory manufacturers tend to view Apple owners as an ideal market to be milked, at least financially-speaking.  Twelve South's BassJump addresses a commonly-voiced problem among MacBook and MacBook Pro owners - that while the mids and trebles are reasonable, the notebooks' bass is somewhat lacking - by offering a standalone subwoofer.  Unfortunately the compact sub' also costs $79.99 Read The Full Story

Paradigm SUB 1 and SUB 2 subwoofers are hexagonal, expensive, loud

, Oct 1st 2009 Discuss [1]

Premium audio kit manufacturer Paradigm have obviously had enough of subwoofers being the breezeblock-shaped lump unloved in the corner, and have whipped out their SUB 1 and SUB 2 models.  Each high-end hexagon slots neatly into the company's Reference Signature line, and pack six high-excursion drivers - 8-inch in the SUB 1, 10-inch in the SUB 2 - together with more amplification than most people could realistically need.
