Product Description
From the Manufacturer
One of the most important speakers in any system, the subwoofer never gets the respect it deserves. We invest a lot of design time and effort into building the industry’s best subwoofers, offering unparalleled performance and sonic accuracy. Energy's subwoofer line is certain to have a model designed precisely to fit your needs.
ESW-8: Value-packed Technology
An ideal combination of technology, performance and design, the ESW-8 subwoofer affordably brings a deep, tuneful bottom end to home theater and two-channel music systems.
A bass-reflex design with a front-firing port, the ESW-8 employs an 8-inch MPP cone with patented Ribbed Elliptical Surround™. This proprietary design eliminates surround distortion, enabling the subwoofer to play lower with greater output and fidelity. An efficient internal power amplifier enables this hard-hitter to deliver 200 watts of output for accurate, deep and powerful bass response. The ESW-8 features line and speaker level inputs as well as a variable low-pass filter for seamless blending with a variety of speakers, including Energy’s C-Series and Take Series. The subwoofer also has a power mode switch that enables it to turn on and off automatically, based on the presence or absence of an audio signal.
In addition to reaching deeper and hitting harder, the ESW-8 features a classic black ash finish that fits comfortably into any living environment.
The Energy Advantage
Energy brand speakers are the culmination of over 30 years of scientific research and development in acoustics, speaker engineering and manufacturing. The philosophy of design behind every Energy brand product has its foundation in our pioneering study with the Canadian National Research Council (NRC) almost 20 years ago, which lead to incredible breakthroughs in speaker technology. Understanding how people listen has led us to three simple, yet vital factors that are the basis for the Energy brand’s speaker design and construction. These factors are flat on-axis frequency response, wide and constant dispersion, and low distortion.
Flat On-Axis Frequency Response with Wide Bandwidth
Flat frequency response is the ability of a speaker to reproduce the entire audio range in a uniform manner. By ensuring that no one frequency dominates over any other, Energy ensures that every sound is reproduced the way it was intended, as naturally as possible.
Wide and Constant Dispersion
This refers to sound—at all frequencies—which radiates from the loudspeaker, ideally in an even pattern, in all directions throughout the listening environment. In nature, sound radiates all around us. A speaker must be able to reproduce this as accurately as possible, thus spreading the sounds we hear constantly, consistently.
Low Distortion & Resonance
While no speaker system is totally devoid of distortion or resonance characteristics—speaker systems with as much as 25-30% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) at bass frequencies can still be considered "high end"—Energy consistently achieves significantly lower distortion levels in its entire line of speaker products. It's an improvement that is clearly audible.
A Constant Pursuit of Excellence
This basic Energy philosophy hasn't changed in over 30 years, yet our extensive research methodology and the available technology and materials have steadily improved, enabling Energy to continue to manufacture speaker systems that achieve outstanding performance through consistent improvements to all of these three critical parameters.
We’re constantly working on designing new and improved speakers. Our engineers and designers are diligently working to better reproduce sound in the most realistic manner possible. Years of expertise and the best measuring and testing equipment available allow us to continue to push the boundaries of sound reproduction.

Energy ESW-8 subwoofer,
By Joe Smoo "Joe" (Mentor, Ohio) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Energy ESW-8 Subwoofer (Single, Black) (Electronics)
I was a little skeptical about this product at first, but after testing it with my home theatre system, all I can say is WOW! I would of never guessed that an 8" woofer could put out as much bass content and with such definition as my current 12" subwoofer. I am very pleased and will try other products from Energy when I am ready for my next peice.
Thank you.

Received the speaker; the box was not packed well, so corners of the speaker are damaged. But the sound is solid! More than enough power for my system. I highly recommend this product!
