Add some low-end punch with a dedicated sub

I find it extremely odd how, in 2025, WHF are touting the B&W ASW610 and Q Acoustics QB12 as two of the three 'best subs' in 2025. The ASW610 was first reviewed in 2008, the QB12 in 2019.

And then to have a whole category 'Best for Sonos'? Looks like Sonos marketing dollars have done their job.

Spendor A7 were first reviewed in 2018, yet still pick of the crop.

And why not if they consider nothing in their price bracket has come along to beat them.?

Be nice to see more reviews of subs. Been a lot released since some of these were reviewed!

Plenty online, personally I have never considered these devices to be a requirement in a Hifi set-up.

Can any of these hit 20hz or lower to be a Subwoofer
for EDM , Dub , Organ ( Very big Pipe organs can hit 8hz )

A 20Hz tone must be 60dB louder than a 1,000Hz tone to be perceived at the same volume

AV / Home Cinema 4z-20hz Explosions , Rumbles
