The following is copy & pasted from the other deal:
I also considered this subwoofer with the KEF Kube 8b as a musical subwoofer for 2.1 duties, due to both having basic DSP corrections built-in & reported performance with music.
The B&W ASW608 actually out-does the Kube 8b with DSP options, as it has one more extra adjustment switch.

The ASW608 has 2x DSP-switches, “Bass-extension” & “EQ”.

From Manual:
The BASS EXTENSION switch offers three options of subwoofer bass extension. Position A gives the greatest extension and position C gives the least extension. Position B provides a compromise setting. If the system is to be used at very high volume levels or in a large listening room, restricting the bass extension by selecting either B or C may help ensure that the subwoofer is not asked to exceed its performance limits. In most situations the BASS EXTENSION switch should be left in position A.
The EQ switch alters the subwoofer bass roll-off alignment. The bass you hear is a combination of the subwoofer plus the effects of the room and you should choose the position that best complements your room and the location of the subwoofer.
Position A gives a “drier” alignment, more suited to placing the subwoofer in a corner or compensating for a resonant room. Position B is suited to a less resonant room acoustic and use away from a corner.

Notes: The manual is very detailed in setup information and will help to best integrate the subwoofer to main speakers.

  • Decent price for someone who is after this ($749 at Videopro) but hardly a bargain.

    • +2

      Yes rarely seen this model on-sale so I thought it was worth posting.

      • Fair enough - I've upvoted the deal.

      • Yes, very rare indeed for these to be discounted. I would like a pair of these but cant justify buying them as I literally have 5 subwoofers in various systems in the house that I am happy with, lol.

  • BTW, thought I'd also mention that I've dealt with Nick and the team at Clef on a number of occasions in the past and they must be the nicest bunch of people in the business.

    • Thanks for sharing. Good to know.

  • Hoping another SVS deal will pop up, missed out on the PB-2000 the other day.
