Chrysalis Acoustics Chrysalis Photon-8 Powered Subwoofer

Performance Rating:(4.0 out of 5)
Value Rating:(4.5 out of 5)


MSRP: $899
Review date: Aug 4, 2008

Chrysalis Acoustics - a subsidiary of Velodyne has introduced a new high performance compact subwoofer line called the Photon Series. The Photon-8 outputs some unexpectedly deep bass at very respectable SPL levels while still maintaining a characteristically musical sound quality. If one is in the market for the smallest subwoofer possible but demands big subwoofer performance, this is a solid solution and is highly recommended.

ProsCons
  • Tiny subwoofer yet still produces potent, deep bass despite its size
  • Good transients and detail
  • Excellent transparency
  • Musical presentation
  • Tiny subwoofer that ultimately limits maximum output and low end
  • Thin cabinet wall construction
  • A somewhat less than furniture grade finish
