WHT Bass Clef

Our PR1, PR3 and PR4 are truly amplifier friendly loudspeakers both in terms of load and sensitivity. As they offer a vastly better performance in this regard than alternatives, something else was required to complete the picture.
With the Neo tweeter reaching 40 KHz we could only look at the lowest notes to add to the existing ability to perform recorded music. It was time to build a subwoofer. Why had we left this project to last? The honest response is, we truly hated subwoofers.
When matching speakers with the subwoofer, the bass is far more important than you would initially believe - any shortcomings here will muck up the midrange. It's surprising how often a change in the bass results in a perceived change of much higher frequencies. It's also the biggest challenge; it's very difficult to obtain clean high-level bass.
Every time we made an attempt to match a high end subwoofer with our speakers the result was routinely embarrassing for the subwoofers.
