Subwoofer
well above typical
Among the 24 subwoofers in the catalogue, this one is well above typical.
A band places a component against its peers and carries no price. It is deliberately the only price indicator on this page: a second one, measured against a different set, would narrow the two together far enough to give the figure away.
Custom-order finishes available — bespoke colour selection beyond standard veneers.
Assessed against 3 rivals across the sixty systems: it takes the slot in none of its 15 head-to-heads.
