Q Acoustics has blessed bass aficionados with a trio of new active subwoofers that cater for different sizes of rooms and levels of stereo and AV set-ups. Sitting above the company’s existing slimline 3060S model (£379 / $550 / AU$699), the new Q SUB series comprises the 8-inch Q SUB80 (£599 / $899), 10-inch Q SUB100 (£699 / $1049) and 12-inch Q SUB120 (£799 / $1199).
While it’s true that subwoofers are less sensitive to room positioning than other speakers (due to deep bass being less directional than midrange and treble), their volume, phase and crossover frequency still require careful integration with their partnering speakers (as detailed in our subwoofer set-up guide).
