The XV15 vented subwoofer delivers crisp, detailed bass, while digging deep into the lowest frequencies. Combining the deep bass capabilities of a vented subwoofer and the shallow roll off of a sealed subwoofer, the XV15 is a perfect match for both movies and music. Assembled in America with mostly USA built components, the XV15 is destined to be a class leader.

FREQUENCY RESPONSE

* 2 meter ground plane (1/6 Octave smoothing)

LONG TERM OUTPUT COMPRESSION

IN ROOM VS GROUND PLANE

* The two curves in the graph depict the difference between a simulated in-room response and the measured ground plane response. The XV15 experiences a shallow 10dB/octave roll-off starting at 30Hz when measured in a ground plane (quasi-anechoic) environment. Once the XV15 is placed in a medium to large sized room, true extension to 16Hz-18Hz is typical. This boost in low end output is due to the phenomenon known as "room gain".

"Power Sound has come out swinging with the XV-15 and if the rest of their line-up is as good as the XV-15 is I’d expect they will be doing quite well for themselves in their first year of operation."

"Apparently $799 can buy an astonishing amount of performance in the subwoofer kingdom these days."

CJ, Home Theater Lounge Administrator, posted an excellent review of the XV15. Check it out by clicking the Lounge's logo.
"The XV15 also plays low and loud. I mean it pounds out movie SFX, hard."

"The XV15 is what I would call a no-nonsense subwoofer design with design emphasis on what matters from a performance perspective."
