The winner
Velodyne SPL-1200R
First Reviewed: HCC #151
If you don’t recoil from the idea of using EQ to max out the performance of your subwoofer, then the £1,100 SPL-1200R has a lot to offer. A test mic and infra-red control let you configure it for a range of material from jazz, classical and rock music to games and movies. With its huge bass range, melodic delivery and selection of connections, this sub delivers a full quota of muscle.
