At this price it shouldn’t be possible to construct a robust and well playing active subwoofer, but it is never the less what Argon has accomplished. With the 80 powerful watts built in amplifier the Argon Sub 8 is more than competent in sustaining the deepest octaves in satellite and compact systems. You will get a dynamic and precise bass, which matches both music and film effects, and if your speaker system has to be as compact and economical as possible without losing bass response, then the answer is here.

Sub 8 is not a “boom-box” but a great supplement for small speakers that sound a little too bright. It would be a perfect choice for satellite speakers, for example Argon 6210S or the larger 6220. But you can easily use the Sub 8 with other small quality speakers from other manufacturers. The construction and sound quality easily surpass the next price range. Forget everything about discount subwoofers spongy and undefined boom bass. This is true hi-fi!

A good supplement to small speakers
Lower bass responses are easily lost in small cabinet or wall speakers. You can easily compensate this with a good subwoofer like the Sub 8. Even at low volumes you will experience the sound stage more coherent, the sound seems more full and dynamic. The Sub 8 is built up around an 8 inch bass unit, which is driven by an 80 watt amplifier. With this extra effect in the background you don’t have to think about your amplifier not meeting the power requirements for good bass response. The subwoofer does this on its own.

Easy to connect and place
With the built in amplifier Sub 8 can be connected to any amplifier or receiver. It has both line and speaker signal inputs, so if you don’t have a dedicated subwoofer (line) output on you amplifier you have the option of connecting it to your speaker terminals directly with a speaker cable. No matter how you decide to connect the subwoofer to your system, it is possible to adjust and match it so it suits your stereo or surround system.

With the compact cabinet it is easy to place the Sub 8 discretely in the living room. If you place it in the corner you will get even more bass without pressuring the subwoofer. Placing the subwoofer in the corner increases the sound pressure, because the sound is amplified acoustically by the walls and floor. Try experimenting different placements in the room and put the subwoofer where you get the best result.
