Disappointing CE Pro Sub List

[XEagleDriver]

CE Pro just published an article about 20 Subs worthy to "reproduce music in stereo systems, multiroom audio systems, and the most advanced home theater systems."
Their manufacturer list is at the bottom.

Note the complete absence of sub focused ID brands (i e. HSU, Monolith, Outlaw, SVS, Rythmik, etc.).
- Some of the article featured subs have 6.5 inch drivers and are flat down to a whopping 40Hz (oh my!).

Talk about a self licking ice cream cone. What a crock.
- Not throwing shade on individual listed companies, but rather on the absurd "selectivity" of CE Pro's list.

CE Pro's 20 subwoofers list:
Aerial Acoustics
Bowers & Wilkins
Definitive Technology
Focal
James Loudspeaker
K-array
KEF
Klipsch
Meridian
Origin Acoustics
Paradigm
Pro Audio Technology
PSB Speakers
RBH Sound
Revel
Savant
Sonos
Sonus faber
SpeakerCraft
Triad

I don't know what you are expecting. Of course, they will promote the manufacturers who advertise with them. Few of these industry lists should be taken seriously. Except when written by me, of course. Then it should be taken as though Moses had come down from Mt. Sinai with new tablets inscribed by god.

Seems a crap list to me, but wouldn't look to CE Pro for much of anything in the first place....

Well, at least they have RBH.

The RBH SV-1212NR and SV-1212PR are real subs.

RBH Sound SX-1212P/R Subwoofer Review

Review: The RBH Sound SX-1212P/R is a large vented system which houses dual 12” drivers, a 2400 watt rated amplifier and represents their biggest and baddest subwoofer. Extreme Bassasholic certified.

Dear Moses,
After more than 2 millennial since you walked the planet I was expecting at least some progress on seeing intelligent, thoughtful, reasonably balanced writing.
Silly me, we are still on Earth and talking about Audio writers (other than you of course)!

The K-array offerings are tough aesthetically, except perhaps when unseen in a HT installation, don't think too attractive to the "stereo" crowd tho https://www.k-array.com/en/products/type/subwoofers/

@Danzilla31 has repeatedly broken Audioholc commandment #9. I wonder if it’s time for an intervention.

Suuuure, blame it on Dan. Maybe its just explaining your fondness for ported subs.....

I refuse to believe that my love for ports something that feels so beautiful could ever be something that is defiled or depraved!!!!!
