I guess thats a NoKe for the LoKe :)
The Wilson Audio LoKe Subwoofer.
I receive the Wilson Audio newsletter emails. This afternoon I received a new one, and opened it. The page appeared, and the first article pictured was about the new (I presume) Wilson Audio LoKe Subwoofer, priced at $8750. In the first paragraph I read: "There is, as the saying goes, no replacement for displacement." I thought to myself "So Wilson is introducing a sub with a, say, 18" woofer? As competition for the 18" models by Rythmik Audio and Funk Audio?"
I opened the whole review, and learned that, no, the LoKe contains a 10" woofer, and a 500 watt amplifier. A subwoofer with a 10" woofer and a 500 watt amplifier, priced at $8750.
They have GOT to be kidding.
The Rythmik Audio F18 contains an 18" woofer, a 900 watt amplifier, and servo-feedback circuitry. And sells for $!849/$2070 shipped. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind it outperforms the LoKe by a wide margin.

All true @onhwy61. For a look at really great enclosure bracing, check out what Jim Salk does in his sub enclosures. He installs a number of different Rythmik Audio sub kits (with 12", 15" or dual-15" woofers) into enclosures of his own design and build. His enclosure bracing design is the best I've ever seen (viewable on the Salk website), in the "honeycomb" style. His naturally wood finishes are also as good as it comes. |
