B&W ASW650 Subwoofer (Made in UK)

htkaki — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 23:35:28 +0800

Item(s): B&W ASW650 Subwoofer

Price:RM2,500

Warranty: Nil.

Item(s) conditions:Immaculate as it is not being abused. See and audition to believe!

Picture:

Reason for sale:Currently using another subwoofer and planning to upgrade.

The ASW650 has all the attributes of the ASW600, but is more suited to larger rooms because of its greater output capability, achieved by a combination of a larger cabinet, driver and amplifier.

In this case the driver is a 300mm (12 in) unit that can go lower in the bass that its smaller sibling. Its capabilities are fully exploited by the powerful 200W on-board amplifier.

Like all B&W subwoofers, two or more units can be daisy-chained together should even higher levels be needed.
