British audio manufacturers Bowers & Wilkins has just announced a new subwoofer, the ASW12-CM. The 12-inch subwoofer completes the company's CM series of speakers, which consists of a pair each of bookshelf, floor-standing, center-channel, and subwoofer models. It's the bigger brother to the ASW10-CM, the 10-inch subwoofer the company previously released.

The subwoofer features a 12-inch paper cone driver, and uses the same 500W Class D amplifier found in the ASW10-CM. It includes a 3-position tuning switch that sets the subwoofer to 18, 23, and 28Hz, and a 40-140Hz adjustable crossover gives it flexibility for a variety of home theater setups. It ships next month, and will retail for $2,000.
