ART OF SOUND

Hand made Subwoofers

Don't spend $5000 or $10,000 on a REL Subwoofer

When this sub sounds better!

Finally a musical sounding line of subs!

Yes, these subs have passed our critical listening tests.

We've been able to blend them in nicely for critical two

channel listening, using both 300b tube amps and solid state!

They'll also rattle the house for home theater!

Check out the big Tordial power transformer on the amp!

Don't these connections and controls look like a REL amp?!?!

Even the speaker line level connector is REL!

300 (600 watts peak) watt sub bass amplifier shown.

Art of sound amplifier modules represent the latest in simplistic ultra high-end design. Built with audiophile grade components throughout. Featuring RCA/XLR/SPEAKON inputs to enable easy integration into a variety of systems. Equipped with separate volume controls for high and low level inputs that allow simultaneous use. This allows an Art of Sound subwoofer to be connected to a 300B tube amplifier (or any other type of power amp) via the hi level (SPEAKON) input cable (included) and a home theater receiver via the low level inputs (RCA or XLR). Since the inputs are isolated with individual volume controls and op amp circuitry no switching back and forth is required. Set it and forget it! This applies to all models.

300 watt RMS (600 peak) for the Jazzmon, Maximus, and Tycus

500 watt RMS (1000 peak) for the Canon and Subzilla

It will blend in perfectly with your system, this is your sub if you want the ultimate subwoofer!

Customer feedback on the Art of sound subs;

I'm still fiddling with the settings on both subs; however, my initial impression is that your sub (maximus) plays louder, has more "slam" factor and is as musical as the REL (Storm III).

I'm very pleased with your product. I have your sub connected to the front mains using the speakon connection and the REL to the rears. Both subs are connected to the LFE output via a splitter.

Hi Dave:

I just wanted to let you know, that I received my sub today. Wow, this thing is beautiful, and you did an outstanding job on the color, too. I'm so glad that I chose your sub, and I want you to know that I really did enjoy working with you on the color, and your workmanship, and quality control, are the very best. If I can ever give your product a positive plug, or if you need any referrals, please feel free to ask me. I love my Art Of Sound Maximus sub. The way that you packed my sub, was far superior to anyone else. I must hand it to UPS, because everything came with no tears, and without any kind of damages. Thank you Dave, for a wonderful product.

Sincerely,

Robert Shimomura

Comments regarding the Tycus subwoofer.

(email of 01/10/03)

Dave,

I received and hooked up the sub yesterday. Everything is fine. I will

need to do some fine tuning and I would imagine it will take some time to

break in. I don't have my two channel pre-amp yet so I won't be able to

appreciate it as much with a sound processor but I can already hear

improvements over my HSU VTF-2 (Class A rating in Stereophile Guide to Home Theater. Reviewer's Choice Award 2000 in Sound & Vision.).

Thanks,

Jim

The subwoofer sounds great. In fact you don't even know its there. It blends in terrifically

with my speakers. The music is the most important

to me anyway, and the movies sound good the way I have it set up now. I am

very pleased with my purchase.

Dave,

Your sub arrived safely and I must admit looks more beautiful than on your website (isn't that always the case?). The sound is also quite impressive on the DVD Men in Black II. Don't know if you enjoy a good movie on DVD but this is certainly one to try for nice and deep low end extension. Haven't had much time to do anything else besides hook it up and watch this movie with some friends and family last night. So far, so good. I can also see from a quality standpoint this sub's much more attractive both in build as well as looks than the Sunfire Signature it's replacing.

Happy Thanksgiving,

Clement Perry

Comments regarding the "Cynergy" subwoofer (replaced by the Tycus).

(email of 1/21/02)

Hi Dave.

You can give my phone no. to anyone you wish. I would highly recommend your

product.

English is not easy for me. if you knew Hebrew I could have send you link to a very

long excellent review in Hebrew that I wrote about the cynergy in an

audiophile Israeli internet forum ( something like the Audio Asylum).

Best regards (-:

Comments regarding custom subwoofer built using 21"Cabasse woofer.

(email of 11/19/01)

Dave,

The sub continues to break in nicely. I really wound them up today to listen to Talvin Singh, the CD I sent to you, to demonstrate the range to my son. He was mightily impressed, and so was I. The speed of the sub has been a eye-opener, and I have found nothing so far that can confuse or obscure the purity, proportionality and power of the bass. Those “3 P’s” have been coming dramatically in to focus as the unit “loosens” up, and on a well-recorded CD are a revelation. I must say that Kevin in England was the only person I trusted to deal with component matching until we did our business with you, but I don’t believe that Kevin could have manufactured me as good a match with the sub….. and that Dave is a real compliment to your work given Kevin’s dazzling award-winning speaker designs. That Cabasse driver was a brilliant choice, and if you talk to the company again, you can tell them that I am just “gob-smacked” at its performance and “amplitude.”

I’ll talk to you soon,

Mike

Comments below regarding the "Jazzmon" subwoofer.

(email from August 26, 2001)

The subs are beautiful and work great. W/O the benefit of breaking in, the

bass seems to be a bit tighter and faster than the original Jazzmon. I'll

keep you posted as time goes by, as I didn't have the time to put it through

its paces yesterday, but will today. So far, I would say it integrates even

better with the Beauhorns, than the original.

I'm sure you have a winner here for the music lover. You just have to get

the word out.
