Pros
Closed case, cutting frequency adjustment, phase change
Minuses
Rarely and at very large volume, a rattling ghost
Review
I use the subwoofer along with B& W606 columns and it complements them perfectly. Not adversity of the low frequencies of shelf acoustics is fully and without dissonances is compensated by the subwoofer and in this combination the sound becomes little distinguishable from the floor columns. I really liked that you can change the frequency of the cut and set its upper boundary flush with the lower boundary of the speakers. It was also pleased that they made a phase change. I tried to experiment with this and liked the 180 phase more, in this position the sound became more synchronous, there is no delay. And when he put the phase on 0 was a subjective sensation of the subwoofer lag behind the columns. So the setting is very useful. The subwoofer is not only powerful and also very fast. He copes with almost any style of music. Thanks to the closed case, there is no sound of ?puffing? air. Some rattling appears only at very large volume and at the phonograms of oversaturated with low frequencies.
When listening at home, it does not appear.
In general, I am satisfied with the purchase, for my money, the subwoofer is cool.
