Polk Audio PSW505 review

Polk has managed a fantastically balanced subwoofer with the PSW505. The massive, 12-inch woofer reaches deep into the 20Hz range, and that’s apparent the first time this subwoofer is powered on. Lows are rich and full-bodied at all listening volumes, never distorting, and always sounding huge. Looking at weight Polk Audio PSW505 has 19.5 kg vs 9.5 kg from PSW111. The Klippet Optimized long throw woofer was designed with the Klippel Distortion Analyzer, which measures performance at extreme listening levels. What results is a woofer that is optimized to deliver solid performance across listening volumes.
