ASW-10 Subwoofer Now Available

Subs, subs, and more subs. Man, we're so excited about all the subs that we've got that we can't stop writing about them.

So, we've announced that the ASW-8 is now in stock. Now, the ASW-10 is here, and ready for you to buy.

We're pleased to now offer the ASW-10 subwoofer, the 10-inch, blow-your-socks-off subwoofer. That's right, this sub doesn't knock your socks off, it blows them off. Our professional writing training taught us not to use any cliches, so in this instance, we're going to change it a bit.



What's so special about the ASW-10? Check out the specs on it:

• Vented (Bass Reflex) enclosure
• Flared bass reflex port on both ends
• High density 3/4” (18mm) MDF construction
• 10” high excursion driver
• 1.5” voice coil
• 30oz. ferrite magnet
• BASH® amplifier technology
• 200w Peak power rating
• 40-120Hz adjustable low pass crossover
• Independent level adjustment
• 0/180° phase switch
• Selectable “ON” or “AUTO” modes
• Operates on 110VAC

The drive unit in the ASW-10 features an injection molded polypropylene cone to increase stiffness, yet maintain an overall low moving mass. This increases the effective output without requiring substantial power to drive the woofer. The flared bass reflex port increases air flow without audible port noises and completes the package.

The drive unit also features a 1.5” voice coil, a 30oz. ferrite magnet assembly. The surround shape allows for a long travel without the woofer cone moving off center at either end of the stroke. Combined, these components allow this 10” woofer to move up to full excursion with very linear behavior. That means remarkably accurate bass in your home entertainment system that you can hear AND feel.

We've said it before, and we'll say it again. If you have neighbors that live below you, this sub may not be for you. If you want enemies living below you, this may help that cause.

We'll leave that decision up to you.

ASW-8 Subwoofer Now Available

We promised it, and it's here. The Speaker Company is proud to announce that the ASW-8 powered subwoofer is now available. This sub will add a new dimension of low frequency response to virtually any home entertainment system.

How To Set Up Your Home Theater System

We've received quite a few emails, phone calls and questions in our forum asking how to set up a home theater system. Besides the home theater packages that we now offer (complete with subwoofers), we also have resources that can assist you in setting up your home theater system.

One of the articles in our Resource section shows you where to place speakers. This article diagrams the room and shows you how to set up a 5.1 plus system. If you need additional information on what purpose each speaker performs, read the article on home theater speakers' uses.

If you have any additional questions, let us know. We'll continue to be a useful resource to you as we provide our high quality speakers at discount prices.

Who Is The Speaker Company?

Since we began operations last December, there have been lots of questions flying about The Speaker Company. Who are we? Why are we selling high quality speakers at such cheap prices? What's the deal?

So, let's come out here and explain things better. We think that once you understand what we're about and how we operate, you'll be quite comfortable with us. In fact, we think that once you get it and get us, you'll want to be a part of what we're doing, but that's for another time.

Who Are We?

We're a project that was started by a larger company, and now the organization has grown into its own entity. If you want to find out who the larger company is, Google us. Frankly, it's not important, as we are our own entity. If you're the kind of person that just can't stand not to know, do just a little research and you'll find out.

Our founders saw that there was a need for a company that sells speakers inexpensively online, and they knew that it could be done. They helped us get off the ground, put us in touch with factories that were creating other expensive, high line speakers, and let the conversations begin.

The rest is history. The Speaker Company was able to begin sourcing quality speakers at huge discounts and passing the savings on to our customers. We found quality lines, high quality lines, some from companies that are still operating, and others that are discontinued.

At first, some of our lines were good. Over time, we found some fantastic speaker deals, and we jumped on them. We were able to get great speakers -- all types of speakers -- at great prices. Towers, satellites, bookshelfs, in-walls, outdoors, surrounds, you name it. We did it.

In case you're still worried about credibility of our speakers, you can listen to the experts and what they're saying about us here.

It will take time, but we're impatient people and we want to succeed sooner rather than later. If we don't succeed, we'll have to go and get real jobs where we do something that we may not like ;-).

The Dream Team of Speakers

We cleared out the just good stuff and continue to clear that out as we build our Dream Team of Speakers. The Dream Team of speakers is now here, and like any team, we'll continue to build, trade, acquire and retire speakers in the future.

One of the saddest things is that we've learned that most that don't buy from us say it's because they don't believe that our prices could be so low. It's a credibility issue. We've even considered raising our prices just so people finally believe that our products are quality. We haven't done that though. In fact, we've cut some prices even more. The web can be quite counterintuitive, we've found.

Let's say it again -- if you're worried about our credibility, here's what the experts are saying about us after reviewing our speakers.

Now it's time to stop you're worrying. When you want the Dream Team of quality speakers, you know where to go -- The Speaker Company.

The Speaker Company Praise Continues

The Speaker Company's wave of momentum continues to get larger as the days progress and the company's popularity grows. More and more of you are coming to us to buy speakers. Why?

More of you get it.

As we continue to grow, we're receiving more press as well. Many are writing articles about speakers and including us in their articles.

One of the most interesting articles where we received mention (and then some) was in the article titled, The Hidden Costs of Speakers and How You Can Beat the System. 

Heck, our company is founded on the simple premise found in this article:

You DON'T have to pay a lot of money to buy quality speakers. 

It's not rocket science; you don't have to be super-smart, super-cool, or super-rich to have good looking speakers that sound incredible.

Affordable, High Quality Home Theater Systems

That's right, incredible. Not good. Maybe great. Definitely incredible sounding speakers that don't cost too much. That's what we offer. 

When you have your friends come over for a couple of drinks or to see the latest movie, you'll get the "hey, these speakers are amazing," comment. 

That's how the Speaker Company is getting more popular. As we launch our home theater packages, sub woofers and new products, we get even more popular as we reach new audiences. 

It's more than the quality of our products and costs, though. 

Our quality, amazing customer service and rapid response times combine for the amazing customer experience. We get it, and we want to give that experience to you. At The Speaker company, it's about the entire experience that you get.

Read more about the hidden cost of speakers here. We think that you'll better understand what we're doing at The Speaker Company after you read this. Then come buy your speakers -- and your home theater packages from us.

We look forward to seeing you with that new home theater surround sound system in the near future. Then you can get that comment that we all love to hear: "these speakers are amazing."

TC2 vs The RC1 Center Channels

Many readers ask us if they should buy the highly rated RC1 or the brand new TC2 for a center channel speaker. This is a great question. Each of these center channels is matched to the series of speakers it belongs to; the RC1 to the tSc P Series and the TC2 to the tSc T Series. Both sound great and offer an incredible value.

The TC2 will give you more bass and greater detail in the high end. This is not to disparage the RC1 which is a fantastic sounding speaker that will fit in with most other brands of speakers besides its own P Series. The TC2 is also a larger than the RC1 so size may also be a purchasing decision. So it's your choice, at $49.97 & $99.97 both are a steal. Remember, Free shipping and 30 day in-home trial make it easy to choose tSc.

tSc on the Radio

Last week, tSc General Manager Nick Valente spoke with radio host Craig Crossman of Computer America. Nick Spoke about the value of being able to listen to speakers in your own home and the tSc advantage of Free Shipping, a 30 day trial and Free Return Shipping. Craig agreed it was a winning combination. During the interview, they covered the things to look for in a speaker selection and the new T Series loudspeakers from The Speaker Company.
