B&W ASW 1000 Powered Subwoofer in perfect operating
condition and in near perfect cosmetic Condition! 1998 -- 1999 Sound &
Image "Subwoofer of the Year Award" Winner. The Bowers and Wilkins
(B&W) speaker line is perhaps the most prestigious and successful
loudspeaker manufacturing company in history. Their reputation for
quality drivers and uncompromising build quality have put them atop the
consumer speaker market despite the fact that their products are quite
expensive compared with their competition. This is largely because of
the confidence that buyers have knowing that no matter what B&W
product they choose to buy, it not only will sound great, built
exceptionally well and be well designed -- it also will be a safe
investment because the demand for used B&W speakers makes it so easy
to upgrade in the future. A large number of people who own these ASW
1000 subwoofers have given it very high marks - a 4.48 out of perfect
5.0. This ASW1000 Subwoofer is a great "Big Room" subwoofer with a very
fast forward firing 12" hybrid Kevlar / Paper Drive Cone, magnetically
shielded, designed with the very cool bottom "dimpled" flow port, and
constructed with the typically superb Bowers and Wilkins build quality.
The driver is in mint /flawless condition with no marks on the cone or
the surround, and the recoil tension is superb. Cosmetically, the
cabinet is superb -- no dinged edges, no corrosion, no bent or dinged
heat sink fins, no worn lettering & just a little light scuffing on
the right side as shown in the picture. The grill looks superb with no
stains, no broken grill frame elements.



Here is information from B&W: Product Summary The ASW 1000 features a
120w built in amplifier with a 12-inch low-frequency long throw driver.
As part of your home cinema system the ASW 1000 will truly enhance your
listening pleasure, as it underpins the higher frequencies with a fast
and articulate bass response. The ASW 1000 adds the deep bass territory
to B&W's search for perfect sound reproduction. This active
subwoofer is designed to reproduce the slamming, precision bass that is
important to home cinema. Operating is easy with signal sensing 'auto
turn on'. "Flowport" - Golf ball aerodynamics theory points the way
towards lower distortion reflex ports. Dimples improve the way the air
flows over the surface of any object. In the case of reflex ports, they
offer a significant improvement over simply flaring the port ends in
reducing air flow turbulence at each end of the port; so you get less
chuffing noise and less compression at high sound levels.

safe investment, but this B&W ASW 1000 Subwoofer is one of the very
rare exceptions and has one of the best resale values of any speaker
brand or model in the world. While many speaker brands are fortunate to
return 20 - 25%% of their original retail price when re-sold as a used
item, these ASW 1000 Subwoofers have consistently re-sold for about 60%
of their original purchase price -- almost unheard of for standard
consumer speakers, and extraordinarily rare for subwoofers. There is a
reason for this demand - quality. Quality of manufacture, performance
quality, quality control and also the quality and track record of the
brand name - B&W. I am seeing a disparity in what is being reported
as the retail price when this B&W ASW1000 powered subwoofer was new -
the AudiogoN Bluebook reports that it was $700, however most people
selling this report a $1,100 or $1,150 MSRP. On the used audio market I
am seeing a typical range of $650 - $750 for ASW 1000 subs in this
pristine condition. Here is an opportunity to buy one that plays like
new and looks virtually new, Local pickup only please.
