Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Using the technology it previously supplied for large stadium rock concert sound systems, the world's leading loudspeaker innovator, Wharfedale, has created the new Topaz range of high-power subwoofers for home theater applications. These subwoofers are designed around a new generation of exclusive high-performance drive units offering long-throw excursions, low distortion, and high power handling. Topaz low-frequency loudspeakers have sealed box acoustic systems for linear phase operation, ensuring a tight, controlled bass sound entirely free of "woolly bass" problems associated with ported systems. Inputs are provided for both line-level and speaker-level signals and have controls for volume, bandwidth, power, and phase. Hardened steel floor spikes are also provided.

I have this sub for about 4 months now. For the price, it's a great, clean sounding sub. The sealed enclosure makes it tighter than most other 12" sub out there. It also makes for more flexible placement. With proper adjustment of output/crossover/phase this sub will match well with your satellites. Overall, its great for both music and hometheatre. If you want a dedicated hometheater sub, look for a ported design; but be warned, most ported subs sound terrible with music.

When i purchased this model of sub, i expected it to be the perfect completion of my long in the building system. It replaced an itty bitty aiwa sub. I was rather disapointed when I found the new sub preformed hardly better than my old. Overall it was a good sub, nd handled higher volumes with decent response, but I paid significantly lower, and still feel it was overpriced
