  • Soundstage Praises the SB-3000 Subwoofer with a Reviewer's Choice Award

    “Liver-massaging ultra-low bass. I felt I was simultaneously reaping the rewards of large and small woofer cones: slam and pressure, and nimble speed. Dug deep, letting me really feel the lowest notes in my chair with impressive punch and authority. This combination of intense punch with the feel of low-frequency extension had me turning it up loud -- and it was an exhilarating experience. The bass I heard bordered on the difficult to believe -- very fast, very tight, very deep, with more than enough output to fill my 15’L x 12’W x 8’H room with sound-pressure levels that would satisfy the most demanding bass heads.”
  • SB-3000 Subwoofer Receives Sound&Vision's Top Picks Award

    "Performance, which was characterized by extreme low-frequency extension, massive output, and precision on transients. At one point I had to check my wiring to make sure I had disconnected my other four subwoofers—it was that impressive! Even at reference levels, the SB-3000 didn't break a sweat—each bass note hit with power, precision, and speed. I was completely blown away by my experience. It has no equal at its price."

  • Prime Wireless Speaker System Receives Sound & Vision's Top Pick Award

    "An audiophile statement in both its design philosophy and sonic personality. It will impress with natural timbre mated with superb midrange and upper frequency openness and clarity. Highs were beautifully extended and utterly detailed. Even at such close range, the presentation extended beyond the speakers and was both deep and rock solid. Instruments and voices had dimensionality and were reproduced with remarkable precision from their spots within the spread; they ranged in depth from behind the speakers to sometimes well in front. Hi-fi with modern digital convenience and audiophile sound quality. All for a very affordable price."

Delivers a commendably neutral and tonally honest performance and does a good job of presenting a wide and cohesive soundstage. Consistently impressive, it easily earns our recommendation."
