B & W active subwoofer

[admin_exported]

Hi

I am interested in purchasing B&W active subwoofer model no ASW 610 price £400 as I have centre and fronts of the same make, but they are quite old, around 5 years. Please could you tell me if you have reviewed this subwoofer and what your rating was for this as I have recently purchased an Onkyo TX-SR605 av amplifier.

I auditioned an ASW 675 playing alongside 603 S3. As much as I liked the floorstander, I wasn't convinced with the sub performance. The guy told me that's the speciality of these sub, they match so beautifully with the rest of the speakers, they just disappear. I wasn't convinced, however. I felt a sub could do more than just disappear.
If you like your sound that way, B&W subs would do, but IMO you can have something better for that money.
