New Wilson Audio Submerge subwoofer

[fpitas]

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

If you simply enjoy watching the cone move, definitely.

These are going to sell, so there's some form of intelligence behind this product.

Marketing intelligence, I suppose.

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)

So...

(fun fact,the source chosen is tuner )

Yeah, watched that last night. When I saw the vinyl collection, I was waiting for a glimpse of the sound system. Looks like the electronics and TT are all Mac, but never saw what the speakers were. See with the Raven (Crow?), they kind of went with the "Dark Academia" style of room decor which was interesting.

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.

I am waiting for Wilson's next subwoofer, which I hear is in development.

It costs $50,000 and is called the Wilson Jealous. That way all the commenters on SP can say: "You're just jealous you can't afford the Jealous."

Personally, I'm going to wait for the $100,000 Wilson Stupid.

I love about 12 inch...

Sufficient power below 20Hz can cause a lot of problems unless all the furniture is secured. Not sure how much movie content exists below 10Hz or even 15Hz. Definitely a diminishing returns proposition, especially at that price.

 

[Sokel]

I did notice that part in the movie.. which I didn't like by the way ... but where are the speakers?

Peace

Must be the black towers at her left,didn't manage to get a good look either.

The $50K McIntosh sub tower looks like a bargain now lol

At least if isn't a Dayton Audio plate amp like their last sub.

Wilson LōKē Subwoofer

Wilson has a new subwoofer. Darko says the 10" model was designed to match the TuneTot, includes internal DSP & amplification, and costs £9000. The plate amp appears quite similar to the Dayton SPA500DSP, available at P-E for $300. The overlap between new-Wilson shoppers & DIYers is probably...

Maybe they kitbashed the filter and volume controls from this:

Aside from my aversion to the semi-grotesque and overly-large VU meter, those should perform.
And you get two for $50k, right? Two expensive subs is way better than one.

Argh!
A cabinet, an amp with DSP crossover, it just all seems so unfair to me.
Subs are roll-your-own.

It's not that hard to "roll your own." Just buy a decent sub(s) like SVS or Rhythmik, set them in a reasonable place, get either Dirac on a PC, or a miniDSP Flex with Dirac, or just learn how to use REW and/or rePhase. It's easy, it's fun, and you have the satisfaction of knowing you are getting the absolute best sound possible at an affordable price for your sweat equity.


Definitely better than getting ripped off to the tune of BMW 3 series prices for a single 12" sub from the guys selling you that BMW quality paint job on an epoxy/mdf box the size of a dorm room refrigerator.

So, how do you put the detergent in, and can it do 1400 rpm?

 

[DVDdoug]

The Cerwin Vega "Earthquake" Speakers are my "fantasy subs". You get your money's worth. But I don't have the matching fantasy home theater to fit them into. Or, maybe one of those rotary subs, but hose are in another price bracket.

 

[ahofer]

Best thing about this is that it tacitly acknowledges some objective things that they would never concede out loud. Their speakers were supposed to be perfect full-range.

On a good day I shag at 5Hz.

For that kind of money it should be able to take you to the Titanic.
