Super subs | |
||
 John Falcone Senior editor |
February 16, 2006 Home-theater newbies can always buy a home theater in a box or an off-the-shelf 5.1-speaker bundle, but audio enthusiasts opt for a more meticulous approach, preferring to assemble their audio systems one component at a time. It's always wise to stick with a matching set of speakers from one manufacturer, but the subwoofer is the one part of the equation where it's possible--and sometimes advisable--to go off-brand. We've assembled 4 of our favorite subs, each of which is guaranteed to deliver earth-shaking bass to your home theater system. If you've got 5, 6, or 7 speakers, and you're searching for that all-important ".1" to complete the package, look no further. |

| Review summary | The Aperion S-10 subwoofer is a winning combination of rock-solid construction, impeccable furniture-grade finish, and seismic, room-shaking performance. | Polk's baby subwoofer belts out tight home-theater bass and sounds sweet with music, too. | The E250P's well-defined bass rocks on home theater and music. | The CSW-10 is expensive, but its combination of power and finesse makes it a serious value. |
