A good subwoofer is so much more than just delivering “more bass”. The 7040A works great with the 8010 or 8020 nearfield monitors. The 7040A delivers high SPL performance that is accurate, clear and distortion-free down to 30 Hz. This results in a full-range system that sounds better than simply “good”. Built-in bass management technology filters out LF information from the main channels, increasing headroom and reducing distortion from the main monitors. These can focus their “energy” on the rest of the frequency spectrum. And as if that were not enough, you can use the room compensation controls to optimize the 7040A for your room environment.
