I don't know of you are like me, but I've always preferred to have at least two subs in my system. Have you ever experienced what it feels like having two bass units at the same time? I'm telling you, that chest pounding feeling can get pretty addictive making you want more and more, specially if it comes from quality subs. And speaking of subs; how much do you know about the W10 Subwoofer from Monitor Audio?

Monitor Audio describes it as a sophisticated subwoofer that features an exclusive trinity of uprated amplifier topology, powerful DSP processing and new long-throw driver design. It has an advanced switch-mode power conversion technique, custom DSP tuning and a massive power reservoir which, again according to the company, combine to generate enormous dynamic headroom from the Class D power-pack, allowing the driver to drop low and punch hard without audible distortion.

The W10 features a down-firing 10” ABR (Auxiliary Bass Radiator). This radiator ensures that with the same compact footprint as its predecessor, the W10 will deliver an incredible 6dB greater SPL at 40Hz. Another cool feature found on the W10 are its pre-set EQ setting for music, movie or impact. If you have a small to medium room, the W10 Subwoofer should serve you well. But as I said when I started this overview: a pair of these subs will be ideal. Check it out and share your thoughts!
