HSU RESEARCH VTF-3 MK5 HP POWERED SUBWOOFER REVIEW
October 21, 2015 Comments Off on HSU RESEARCH VTF-3 MK5 HP POWERED SUBWOOFER REVIEW
” Certainly Hsu’s subs don’t have quite the finesse and subtlety in the bass that can be had from the $5,000+ products that are out there. But that would be much too tall an order for a subwoofer you can have for less than $800.”
Klipsch R-115SW Subwoofer Reviewed

great example can be heard on “Playground” from David Friesen’s Where the Light Falls. Friesen plays a Hemage bass, an unusual stand-mounted electric upright design that looks almost more like a club than a bass. I got to hear Friesen play it live a few weeks ago, and I was happy to hear that the R-115SW portrayed its unique tone–a big, resonant, almost bass-guitar-like bottom end with the singing, clear upper notes of a well-made, impeccably played upright
XTZ Cinema Series 3X12 Subwoofer Review
September 29, 2015 Comments Off on XTZ Cinema Series 3X12 Subwoofer Review
The XTZ 3X12 was also subjected to a battery of sub busting movie demo scenes in order to see how well it coped with extreme demands and whether it is protected well enough to avoid obvious distortion or even damage. I used the same -10 master volume that I playback movies at for all of the subwoofer reviews. These tracks are some of the most demanding tracks available when it comes to identifying weaknesses or causing distress to subwoofers. The fact is that most any subwoofer can do justice with light jazz or pop at room conversation level, provided it is setup right and doesn’t have major design flaws
JL AUDIO GOTHAM SUBWOOFER AND CR-1 CROSSOVER
September 20, 2015 Comments Off on JL AUDIO GOTHAM SUBWOOFER AND CR-1 CROSSOVER
While I can’t say that the CR-1 is completely invisible sonically, it is unquestionably far more transparent than any active subwoofer crossover, built-in or external, that I’ve tried—and over the decades I’ve tried a few. In Brett’s words, the CR-1 was “engineered for audiophiles by audiophiles,” its design based on years of calibrating subwoofed systems for picky high-enders
ZANDEN AUDIO SYSTEMS MODEL 8120 POWER AMPLIFIER
September 16, 2015 Comments Off on ZANDEN AUDIO SYSTEMS MODEL 8120 POWER AMPLIFIER
We are collectively so used to the ‘language’ of audio amplification, that if it’s absent then we miss its accent, just as if you habitually take sugar in your tea, you are instantly aware, almost before the drink reaches your lips, if that sweetened taste sensation isn’t there. This Zanden allows us – or more properly, invites us – to enjoy a paradigm shift. Instead of viewing the recording through the lens of the system playing it, this amp advances the perspective, revealing the music through the window of the recording.

XTZ Cinema Series 3X12 Subwoofer Review
September 14, 2015 Comments Off on XTZ Cinema Series 3X12 Subwoofer Review
The cabinet of the 3X12 is built from one inch thick medium density fiber board. The internal construction features a pair of large cross braces spaced at about the 1/3rd points of the panels and connecting the side walls and front and back panels together rigidly. The slot vent is quite large and features a flared opening for less air noise at high output and it also helps to stiffen the bottom of the cabinet.
SVS SB13-Ultra Subwoofer Review
September 13, 2015 Comments Off on SVS SB13-Ultra Subwoofer Review
The SB13-Ultra was delivered in a moderate sized box that somehow still weighs about 100lbs according to my highly accurate back scale. After cutting the tape and popping the top open I could see that the packaging was substantial and very protective. The SB13-Ultra is double boxed with heavy gauge cardboard. Inside of the box are die cut foam inserts at the top and bottom and a couple of thick foam corner inserts. Removal of the SB13-Ultra was simple and took maybe 5 minutes. Contained in the boxes with the SB13-Ultra are the metal grille, the power cord and a quick start guide. The full length owner’s manual is available online from SVS. The SB13-Ultra isn’t overly large or imposing but it is a bit heavy.

The ‘Inverted Apex’ surround allows a maximum of 1.25-inches of excursion and eliminates excursion distortion while increasing SPLs. The special design of the spider also promotes cooling, as does almost every element of the entire structure, and again, this is aimed at reducing distortion and increasing output. Both subwoofers feature truly massive magnet systems with an integral T-yoke heatsin
