Strength:
sound , build quality and fit and finish.
Weakness:
no remote control and speaker level connections. The asw750 is a recent addition to the b&w line. it features a 12" cast frame driver,4" voicecoil, triple suspention, a huge magnet and a thousand watt amp. it is available in 5 real wood veneers, i chose rosenut for it is a good match for my red cherry b&w n805. like other b&w speakers, the build quality and fit and finish of the asw750 is first rate.....................................................................................AT the back of the asw750 is a 1000watts class d amp with big heatsink. some subs uses only marginal amount of heatsinking that when they are used in a hot country like where i live, they could over heat. good thing b&w did'nt skimp in this area. the asw750 only got warm but not hot on heavy use even on a hot day....................................................................................After the break in, the set up and the careful adjustment of the asw750, the sound it produces is powerful, fast , clean and deep. it integrates so well with my n805 that they sound like a pair of big 3-ways. when tested with basstracks (the ones with test tone like deep bass) and movies with deep loud bass, the loudness got to a head numbing level but the sub remained clean sounding and did'nt self destruct...................................................................................When adjusting the x over frequency of the asw750, you have to trust your ears, as in my case , I have to set the x over lower than it should be, because it simply sound right to me, when set above 80hz or so, the sound became too sharp and dry for my taste...................................................................................The asw750 is the subwoofer for people who want accurate music reproduction rather than bombastic sound. this sub is a truly high end product at an affordable price. |
