Hsu
Subwoofer Event
Saturday
morning... dragged myself
outta bed. Today was the Event. The subwoofer event. I have always
been crazy about bass. Bass was what led me to the (expensive) hobby
of hifi. But it isn't all about the quantity, but quality.
Subwoofers! Many purist audiophiles shudder at the thought of adding
a sub to a 2 speaker system ... here we were, trying to rediscover
deep bass in the forms of the Hsu subs. We've heard a lot about
the Hsu subs (and also the extent of damage poor subwoofer integration
can do to a hifi system). Finally, we get to hear them.

I think Dr Hsu did quite a good job with designing the subs, and the
setup/demo by Reference Audio at the Sub Event was quite positive
(Though the sub volume was turned up a bit too much for my taste at
the demo). So those looking for a sub to add to their music/HT systems
should make a trip down to Reference Audio, Adelphi for an audition.
