"What truly sets these speakers apart is that you can hear distant intonations in a thriller like Independence Day, and then gawk in amazement when the ships start flying. Even at incredibly high volumes the system sounds clean and undistorted, which is a remarkable engineering accomplishment."
— by John Brandon, TECH Edge, December 2002
“The (Reference) system’s bass continued to be the selling point: quick and punchy without sacrificing clarity and tonality.”
“The RSW15 is a serious piece of work. Provided you place it well and set it up properly, the result will be clean, fairly quick, and devastating in terms of raw power.”
“Even as I tried to keep my shirt from blowing off, I noted that the RSW15 remained composed and controlled.”
— by Chris Lewis, Home Theater, August 2002
“…terrific system that delivers fine detail and fully integrated surround sound … at any volume I could stand.”
“…the system played effortlessly at movie-theater reference levels.”
“…there’s no doubt this is a terrific home theater system.”
“We’re talking big-time performance here – in a big way.”

Reference Series powered subwoofers shatter your expectations for deep, driving bass by playing louder and going deeper than significantly larger designs, creating the most dramatic, intense bass you've ever heard or felt. Designed from the ground up for class-leading, room-filling low-frequency performance, the RSW-15 is sonically, cosmetically and technologically matched to the Reference Series. Low-level inputs that also operate as an LFE input (for compatibility with 5.1 digital sound formats) and an adjustable low-pass crossover allow you to configure the subwoofer to your room's acoustics. The easy-to-reach, side-mounted volume control makes for simple setup and convenient level adjustments between music and movie sources.
The RSW-15 surpasses the performance of a conventional 21" single-driver subwoofer through intelligent engineering. Pairing a heart-throbbing 15" rear-firing Cerametallic™ active driver with a 3-inch voice coil and 30-pound motor assembly with a 15" front-firing passive radiator gives you more surface area than a 21" subwoofer in a much smaller footprint.
Powered by a high-output BASH® digital high-efficiency hybrid amplifier, the drivers deliver earthshaking sound without detail-robbing distortion. The RSW-15 is available in furniture-grade blond maple, medium cherry or jet ash wood veneers.
| FREQUENCY RESPONSE: | 19-120Hz±3dB |
| MAXIMUM ACOUSTIC OUTPUT: | 121dB @ 30Hz 1/8 space, 1 meter |

| AMPLIFIER: | BASH® digital hybrid |
| AMPLIFIER POWER: | FTC Rated Power: 650 watts continuous, 30-110Hz @ ≤ 1% THD Dynamic Power*: 2400 watts @ ≤ 1% THD *Dynamic power indicates the actual power this amplifier will deliver to the woofer under normal operating conditions. While the FTC power rating indicates power available on a continuous, long-term basis, subwoofers do not rely on that type of power. Instead, the amplifier is called upon to deliver large, short-term peaks of power to be able to support the wide dynamics required by today's digital music and movie formats. In addition to the required FTC power rating, we've provided the dynamic power rating as a better indication of the product's true performance. |
