Product description:
The AS1 is praised for delivering clean, articulate bass that enhances both music and movies. Its compact "breadbox" design and rear porting allow flexible placement. A review from TechRadar praised its dynamic performance.
Voices are natural, good dynamics make every movie a thrill… if you're looking for that elusive compromise between room‑friendly design and real sound quality, put the VM1/AS1 on your wishlist.
Users describe it as a musical subwoofer with good tonal balance, ideal for small rooms, though some note it lacks the deep authority of larger subwoofers—not a party sub, but a perfectly musical one.
