B&W DB2D
B&W DB2D subwoofer fitted with 25 cm Aerofoil drivers derived from the 800 D3, powered by a high-efficiency Class D amplifier.
Description
The B&W DB2D is a subwoofer designed to complement a demanding stereo or home cinema set-up. It reinforces the bass register of a hi-fi system or a multichannel system by bringing the impact and extension needed for the most dynamic recordings.
This model incorporates 25 cm (10 inch) drivers featuring Aerofoil cone technology, identical to those fitted in the 800 D3, the brand's flagship speaker. This technical choice reflects a desire to bring to the subwoofer the expertise developed for B&W's exceptional models, with a diaphragm rigidity and lightness designed to limit distortion in the bass. The unit is driven by a 1000 watt integrated amplifier operating in Class D, an architecture recognised for its high efficiency and its ability to deliver substantial power without excessive heating.
The DB2D is aimed at enthusiasts wishing to pair a high-performance subwoofer with a set of B&W speakers or a home cinema system already equipped with the brand's high-end references. It will particularly suit those seeking bass extension capable of matching the level of detail and dynamics of premium speakers, without sacrificing the tonal coherence of the whole.

What to check before buying used
The suspensions of the Aerofoil drivers and the mounting of the cones deserve close inspection, as sagging or tearing can affect bass reproduction. Also check the condition of the integrated amplifier panel: connections, ventilation and the absence of buzzing when powered on are good indicators. Finally, the cabinet, bulkier and heavier than a conventional speaker, should be inspected at its corners and finish, as these are the points most exposed during handling.
