Boston Acoustics HPS 8Wi
$500.00
Released January, 2007
The Pros:Really solid construction--sturdy enough to handle a good amount of weight or pressure. Standalone wireless design--relatively rare in subwoofers. Bass performance--surprising depth and resonance for the size and the fact that it's wireless.
The Cons:Kind of bulky and heavy (~45lbs!) for a subwoofer. Make loud snap and pop sounds whenever its turned on.
The Boston Acoustics HPS 8Wi is a wireless, medium-end, and floor-standing speaker that features a transmitter and an 8” subwoofer powered by a 150w amplifier. Best suited for a 5.1 channel home theater or stereo music system, the wireless HPS 8Wi is cited as being capable of “impressive deep bass and high output from a remarkably compact enclosure.

” In addition, its wireless capability reduces the need for excessive wires. All one must do is plug the woofer into a suitable location, and then plug the transmitter into the central hub of a theater system. The HPS 8Wi also includes a high-output front firing rear ported design, a Deep Channel Design for more bass for less power, BassTrac circuitry for tighter/reduced-distortion bass, adjusted polarity and gain control, a removable foot, and an ultra-rigid reinforced cabinet. The soft-touch finish Boston Acoustics HPS 8Wi is priced at $499.99 and includes an optional color-coded P.O.P. grille for only $49.99 extra.
