1.How can it go down to 5Hz with just a 12 inch ?

A woofer can go down to DC in either polarity, but acoustically? Within what boundaries?

 

[Sokel]

At least they choose right mains IEC for such power

This is the best-looking night stand I've ever seen!

This is the most expensive night stand I've ever seen!


The array of guitar amp like knobs on the top is baffling. Surely you can do better in 2024 and with $30k!

It's a subwoofer and a pull out bidet in one! And, of course, the only thing it will submerge is your statement of net worth.

Wonder if they sourced the plate amp from Dayton again?

Can't find anything similar in Dayton's line and the alu heatshink seems custom.
Front panel also is an indicator.

It looks like a portable air conditioning unit.

If you made the price big enough, almost a guarantee no third-party testing will happen.

A wild guess would be "Extended Low Frequency"

Kinda hoped it would've something to do with sound.
No one wants to boost an elf. They already got that magic and height thing going for them.

 

[holdingpants01]

now they should make a $20k soundbar

5Hz its easy its just at question of level my smartphone will do it , at micro dB levels if such unit exist ? is there an treshold where one single air molecule wont budge

joking aside there is a standard for testing subwooofer CEA something , do that and get comparable data .

To many manufacturers and testers just throws around data and measurements without qualifications on how its obtained , then anything is possible .

Hi

Usual fare for the HEA. Always keep in mind that this kind of expenditure you can get a complete HT endgame system for most rooms...
We (ASR) are definitely not the market for those, with our bent on performance and value seeking. The other side, those who believe that "Moh expensive = Moh Better" are lining up ... purse in hands... Waiting for S'Phile and TAS "reviews" ....
... meanwhile @Pearljam5000 is waiting for Wilson Audio to make these available in aluminum, then and only then will he consider the Wilson Submerge, for his aluminum Genelec, eventual speakers ...

Happy Holidays

Peace.

They are 50% up to the task,front baffle and back heatshink

Some folks maybe wonder about stuff like that but as long as their brand recognition and fame - DESPITE any kind of performance - is established they will go strong.
Here's how a super mainstream Hollywood movie gives the picture of the intellectual,successful in his life,philharmonic council member,music lover (Mahershala Ali playing G. H. Scott)
(admittedly with a nice collection of LP's)

(Julia Roberts-Leave the world behind)

So...

(fun fact,the source chosen is tuner )
