for the Depth


I have just heard a Depth setup. Depth have 3 8" aluminium woofer setup and technology is the same as the bigger brother Descent. Depth have more feature than Descent. It has high and low pass filter. A power amp direct in. This is good for integrated that that has no pre-amp option. Depth is much smaller size than Descent. It is very cute. Once you see that sub, you might want to sit on it.

Anway. let talk about the sound. The Depth was feed with direct power amp. My first impression that the subwoofer is more quiet than it bigger brother. In light music that don't required low bass extension. On and off the subwoofer have little difference. When playing music with a lot of bass. The difference will show up. You will notice the subwoofer react very fast with the main speaker. A good transparency can be achieve. It just add more low note , and nothing more. This subwoofer is fast, but it do not have the power of Descent. It can't shake big room. However due to it size, you can setup stereo subwoofer and create bigger stereo image. I have not heard this, but I believe this kind of setup is much better than single Descent and save space compare to two Descent setup.

I have no listen to other setup using this sub. I believe this sub will attract user who like Descent, but don't have space or don't like to spend too much on sub.


Product Weakness: A single suubwoofer cannot shake big room.
Product Strengths: Affordable, cute. Performace is equal to Descent with less power.
