GoldenEar SuperSub XXL Subwoofer Review: When it comes to pushing the boundaries of low-frequency performance in a surprisingly compact enclosure, the GoldenEar SuperSub™ XXL sets a new benchmark. Combining GoldenEar’s patented dual-plane inertially-balanced driver technology with a mammoth 1600 W Class D amplifier, this subwoofer delivers subterranean extension and pinpoint control all the way down to 10 Hz.
Design & Technology
The SuperSub™ XXL’s compact footprint (50 cm W × 44.6 cm H × 40.4 cm D) belies its raw power. Inside the gorgeous piano-gloss black cabinet, two 12″ ultra-long-throw active drivers are arranged horizontally, while two 15″ × 13″ planar infrasonic radiators are positioned on vertical planes. This patented 360° dual-plane topology minimises cabinet resonance and maximises driver-to-room coupling, resulting in a chest-thumping low end that’s fast, tuneful and utterly immersive.
Performance That Commands Attention
At the heart of the SuperSub™ XXL lies a ForceField 1600 W digital amplifier with multi-band limiting and phase-perfect equalisation. Whether you’re dialling in the variable low-pass (40 Hz–150 Hz) for two-channel hi-fi or connecting via the direct-coupled, unfiltered LFE input for home theatre, the transient response is razor-sharp and the bass impact is seismic. From the sub-sonic rumble of orchestral crescendos to the gut-punch of blockbuster soundtracks, every nuance is delivered with absolute authority.
Who Should Consider the SuperSub™ XXL?
If you’re an audiophile seeking foundation-shaking extension below 20 Hz, or a home cinema enthusiast craving blockbuster-level rumble, the SuperSub™ XXL is your go-to choice. Its compact size makes it perfect for apartments and dedicated cinemas alike, while its aesthetic finish integrates seamlessly into any living space.
