Subwoofers

JL Audio e110
(April) JL Audio, best known for its gargantuan, powerful, and crazy-expensive state-of-the-art Gotham and Fathom subwoofers, brought a nice chunk of that down-low goodness to a more attainable 10-inch model in the tastefully styled e110. $1,500, jlaudio.com

HSU Research VTF-15H MK2
(February/March 2015) The original 15-inch VTF-15H, a Top Pick of the Year from 2011, was so good it never left the home of reviewer Tom Norton. No surprise, then, that this update was also a keeper for our resident bass hound David Vaughn. A shockingly good sub for not a lot of money. $899, hsuresearch.com
