A Heavyweight In Your Corner
As the lower frequencies play such a integral part in recreating the 3-D soundscape encoded in digital formats, your choice of subwoofer is critical -- especially if you want to enjoy the level of sonic immersion you experience in a modern cinema. And really, who doesn't? With a high efficiency 250W on-board amplifier driving a 10" down-firing woofer, the KEF PSW2500 has the power to deliver heavyweight bass effects without sacrificing clarity, and, perhaps more importantly, without lurking in the corner of your living room like a mini-fridge with intent to kill. With ground lift switching and movie/music modes, output is easily adjustable to match the main speakers and room acoustics. The attractively-styled, elliptical-section cabinet is massively internally braced to eliminate unwanted internal resonance, and finished in gloss black, matte black, dark apple, maple, and silver to complement the rest of your KEF iQ Series system.
Reviewers -- Ready Your Adjectives!
Acoustic intelligence -- that's the best way to describe what KEF engineers have applied to create their newest line of subwoofers. From the second you spot the sheen of its gloss black veneer, you know you're in for something special. And you won't be disappointed. Restless, despite being one of the best, KEF has made improvements to every aspect of its technology. With new cone materials and surrounds. Redesigned magnet structures. Higher specification components. More rigid chassis and cabinets. The result of all these innovations is plain to hear. Power handling and sensitivity are better than ever. The PSW2500 plays loud and true, with deeper, clearer bass than anything else in its price range. And, of course, the extended bandwidth response you need to get the most out of the latest digital audio and home theater formats. As every model in the KEF iQ range is voiced for a perfect tonal match with PSW Series powered subwoofers, the 3-D soundscape is so seamlessly integrated that everyone in the room gets the full benefit, wherever they sit. Breathtaking is the only word to describe it... though heart-stopping was a close contender.
More Than Just A Box
KEF PSW Series subwoofer cabinets are thermally formed in 'heavy' MDF, whose density makes it acoustically inert to reduce unwanted coloration of the sound image. Using laminated construction techniques, with inner and outer layers bonded to a segmented core in a giant press, the precisely radiused panels are exceptionally rigid. Massive internal bracing tailors the volume of each enclosure to the exact parameters of its drive unit and minimizes any residual panel resonance. All models have fully shrouded terminals, and are magnetically shielded to prevent interference with other electronics. As you'd expect, the standard of finish is exemplary, with a choice of Gloss Black, Matte Black, Dark Apple, Silver, or Maple.
