Energy ESW-M8
$800.00
Released August, 2008
The Pros:Has a larger radiator than the typical mini subwoofer at 8 inches - provides more bass response. Relatively small - great for those with limited space. Comes with a built-in amplifier - doesn't need to be pre-powered.
The Cons:Expensive - not an option for the typical home user. Glossy enclosure - easily picks up fingerprints and dust. Manufacturer warranty - only 1 year.

The ESW-M6 has a single active driver as well as two passive radiators. The radiators, combined with Energy's Ribbed Elliptical Surround technology, are intended to minimize surround distortion and allow the subwoofer to play lower with increased fidelity and output. The ESW-M8 also features a fully variable phase control, adjustable to any value from 0 to 360 degrees, allowing the subwoofer to be fine-tuned to improve integration with speaker setups. In addition, this model also features a variable low pass filter, adjustable from 50Hz to 200Hz, as well as having a bypass setting.
Compared to the ESW-M6, the M8 is an inch larger in all dimensions, but delivers greater power and a slightly wider and lower frequency response range.
