Best Home Theatre Bass Subwoofer for the Bucks

The best known secret in the home audio business, which you will never hear any salesman at any store let you in on, is that spending more money does not necessarily equate to a better product. In fact, generally most people are spending money to own a brand name and nothing more. In many cases the speakers in many home theatre setups are standard fare speakers that quite often are made by other companies who sell them to the manufacturer that stamps them with the brand name that you shell out so many dollars to own. Case and point: don’t be a brand snob, brand names are only names. It’s what’s inside that truly counts.

Take the newest bass subwoofer series to make its debut by The Speaker Company, a leader in providing exceptional speakers at an amazing value, generally half the price of their competitors and more feature-laden. They plan on unveiling the ASW-8 powered subwoofer for home theatres this fall, and you would not be able to find a better deal on subs if you tried.

ASW-8 powered subwoofer
Featuring a flared bass reflex port that will really pound those all too sought after low frequencies around the room like you never have heard before. This 100-watt self powered unit is sure to get the job done on even the most demanding of action films without draining all of the power from your amplifier in the process. Using their signature BASH amplification technology, you will truly hear clear and audible 100-watts of sound that can easily shake the windows in your home. Utilizing internal dynamic compressors to eliminate distortion and thermal protection to prevent overheating, this subwoofer packs a serious punch for the bucks.

An 8” high excursion driver will thump even the lowest tones and 1.0” voice coil will assist. As their website states, “All of these high performance attributes combine to create the magic of a small drive unit operating in a piston like fashion with linear behavior.” This is exactly what you will get with this sleek sub which comes in a nice veneered wood box. Amazingly priced online for about $99.00 – and they are offering free shipping both ways. So even if you change your mind you can send it back within 30-days and they will refund all your dollars, no questions asked, and they will pay the return shipping as well. And you can’t beat that!
