Introduction: The Bowers & Wilkins AS1 is a compact, powered subwoofer released around 2000, positioned as part of B&W’s premium mini-home theater solutions. Equipped with an 85 W amp and a 6.5″ driver, it delivers surprisingly deep bass without overwhelming space or setup ([turn0search0]) . ⸻ Product details: Brand: Bowers & Wilkins Model: AS1 Active Subwoofer Type: Powered bass-reflex subwoofer Driver: 164 mm (6.5″) long-throw cone (magnetically shielded) Amplifier: 85 W built-in Frequency response: 27 Hz–100 Hz (±3 dB) Enclosure: Rear-ported vinyl-coated cabinet Dimensions (H×W×D): 378 × 250 × 385 mm Weight: ~11 kg (24 lb) Finish options: Black ash with black grille or silver with grey grille Inputs/Outputs: • Line‑level (RCA) in/out • Speaker‑level in/out Control panel: Top-mounted with switches for music/movie mode Warranty: Originally a 5‑year B&W warranty   ⸻ Product description: The AS1 is lauded for delivering clean, articulate bass that enhances both music and film. Its compact “breadbox” design and rear porting allow placement flexibility. 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 sub 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 . ⸻ Cosmetic description: Please refer to the photos for the accurate visual condition.
