Description of NHT CS 10 10 Inch Subwoofer High Gloss

Featuring NHT's Media Series sleek and modern design, the CS-10 is built in the smallest possible configuration that retains NHT's signature musical qualities. Housed in a 14-inch square cabinet, the CS-10 boasts a 300-watt, 10-inch long throw powered subwoofer that thunders at 22Hz in a room. Lined with a 1-millimeter thick sheet of aluminum, the rigid construction eliminates any trace of cabinet vibrations. Fully adjust the subwoofer's sound with the simple pair of analog inputs, a crossover control which can be set to LFE, a volume trim control, and a phase switch on the rear of the unit. With an elegant piano black gloss finish and recessed grille, the CS-10 unobtrusively matches NHT Media and C Series speakers. Connector type: RCA.

Great for audiophile beginners.

This subwoofer is reliable. It's well built and sounds great overall. The top end is a little tinny, but barely noticeable at high volumes, and even more so at low volumes. The cost may be subjectively proportional, but overall I'd say it's worth it.

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • Everything is fine

Good musical subwoofer: subwoofer

Very low frequencies are limited by size and amplifier, but the sound is very musical and precise. Maybe more for music than movies compared to my SVS 2000 but it looks a lot better and can handle most movies. If like me you can get it for 500 or less it's a good deal, but at 650 there are plenty of 10-inch options that are competitive.

Pros
  • Handy thing
Cons
  • So far so good

Tiny Sub, Big Bass Sound

Wow! Don't let the small size of this subwoofer fool you - this thing packs a punch. It matches the sound of other NHT wall and ceiling speakers and complements my 7.1 system perfectly. The finish is nice too. I couldn't be happier with this speaker! The bass is silky smooth, pumped out of my Denon AVR-X receiver. I was a bit hesitant at first because my last NHT subwoofer was a larger BD12 I bought in 2005 and I was concerned that the 10" SS-10 wouldn't fit. My fears turned out to be in vain -

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • You could have chosen a newer model

Gotta love NHT speakers!

In my experience, real hanging speakers are the most accurate despite their inefficiency. My previous benchmark for great sound was my AR3a many years ago. This NHT 10 inch acoustically suspended subwoofer replaces my previous old NHT SW2 subwoofer which had a vented design rather than an acoustic suspension. The final subwoofer was not standalone and required a separate amplifier just for the subwoofer - a real pain in the neck. The CS10 has a self-sufficient power supply, that's much nicer…

Pros
  • also understandable for old people
Cons
  • A few little things
