6moons has reviewed the NuForce W-1 “bass extender” subwoofer ($249). This smallish unit has a 5.25″ woofer and is designed to augment the Icon integrated amp and S-1 speakers desktop audio system.
Reviewer Srajan Ebaen summed up his impression of the sub/sat system:
What we have here is a very hi-end-ish ‘starter’ system that should last many people well past their first forays into the hobby. Resolution, clarity of vocal enunciation, separation and coherence all go quite beyond what the price tag might promise (or warn not to expect).
He concludes by saying:
We may have been reluctant at first but with the launch of the W-1, this mini rig has matured to perfection!
