Introducing the DB1 - B&W's new Sub!! - Blu-ray Forum

Retail price will be $4500. B&W seems to be going straight at JL Audio.

Those are some big claims there. I wonder how it really does stack up against other subwoofers, like JL's subwoofers or eD's dual 13Av.2 sealed subwoofers. It looks pretty nice though. If I were a B&W fan, I would certainly have one of these (or more

) on my list.

Big claims indeed, I'll audition them at my dealer just to see how they stack up against JL Audio.

Keep in mind it isn't a single 12" subwoofer. It utilizes two 12" drivers. If anything, it should be compared to other dual 12" subwoofers. Your JL may not offer the same output or extension as the dual 12" B&W. Just saying.

Never said it was. It's in competition with the JL Fathom f212.

It reminds me more of the Sunfire True Subwoofer EQ 12 Signature - TS-EQ12

I was just telling bigred about this sub. Anyone hear of any US release dates yet?

It's a smaller footprint than my current single 12" SVS sub. I like that!
