🔊 A great sound system deserves the right subwoofer.

A subwoofer isn’t just about shaking the room or turning up the bass. A properly matched and set-up subwoofer adds depth, weight and realism to your music and movies, bringing the whole listening experience to life.

Whether you’re running a dedicated Hi-Fi system, bookshelf speakers, floorstanders or a full home theatre, choosing the right subwoofer for your speakers, room and listening style can make a huge difference.

At The Audiophile, we stock a wide range of subwoofers from leading audio brands, with options to suit everything from compact music systems through to serious home cinemas.

And bigger isn’t always better — placement, room size, integration and correct setup are just as important as power and driver size.

🎵 Music: deeper, fuller and more natural
🎬 Movies: greater impact and immersion
🔊 Speakers: better overall balance and performance

Not sure which sub is right for your system? Come in and have a listen, or talk to our team and we’ll help you find the right match.
