The P300HD's extra deep (lowest frequency) bass exceeded every sub we've ever tested for CNET but one: the larger (21.75 inches tall, 15 wide, and 22 inches deep) Outlaw LFM-1. With the P300HD, we measured smooth bass down to 35Hz in our home theater. That ultralow bass capability is mostly heard on DVDs with lots of special effects--you know, the ones that really shake the room. The cannon balls blasts on the Master and Commander DVD packed more of a wallop than we're used to.
Displays of brute force power are one thing, but can the sub play a tune? Absolutely! Definition was evident on the sound of drums and acoustic and electric bass. The tactile details of these instruments were rendered with a rare precision, and the sub's dynamic punch was remarkably powerful. Yes, $1,000 is a lot to spend for a sub, but the P300HD's unique combination of sleek style, advanced engineering, and all-around excellent performance make it actually worth the money for discriminating listeners who are willing to pay the premium.
