Was this particular sub reviewed in Stereophile Guide to HT , Home Theater Mag or Stereophile? |
It hasn't been reviewed in any of those magazines, but Anthony Chiarella praises it in the '97 review. If it's set up properly, the Platinum PowerSub is a Bad Boy...as are other upscale subwoofers.
A redesigned Platinum PowerSub will appear in four weeks, with the 500 watt American-made Class AB amplifer available only in a separate rack version. The limiter has been redesigned, and the lowpass slope has been changed from 12 dB/octave to dual 12 dB/octave slopes to better match with all main speakers. We're using the same custom-designed 18" driver and the same basic heavy, inert enclosure, but output is up 1.5 dB. The price of a new one moves from $2200 to $2600.
The reason you haven't read owner feedback-type reviews is the majority of Platinum PowerSubs wind up being spec'd into big home theater systems done by high end installers. These clients aren't typical hobbyist/enthusiasts, and they don't typically offer reviews. If you decide to make this purchase of these used subs, you may contact me for setup help.
