B&W ASW608 review

We get to grips with the smallest B&W woofer we've ever seen...

Astonishing grip and musical low-end control for one so small ; Beautifully made

Limited by its size ; Will make complaining noises if overdriven

Small but perfectly formed, this subwoofer will pleasantly exceed your expectations
