I was looking for a small\n8-10inch subwoofer to compliment my Wharfedale front speakers, Sony centre\nspeaker and Sony AV receiver. But when I tested the Acoustic Research RX-2010,\nit blew my socks off. I was thoroughly impressed at the deep bass and believe\nthat it would complement any system to deliver a deep enriching experience\nwhilst not taking up too much floor space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Design \u2013 Sleek, compact and the black AR logo makes it look crisp yet overall very unassuming. The subwoofer is generally never the eye-catching piece of your entertainment system. But due to the rumble from this sub, it draws attention. It\u2019s also very easy to set up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hifihq.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/6997_Acoustic_Research_RX_2010_005.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/hifihq.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/6997_Acoustic_Research_RX_2010_005.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-913\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hifihq.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/6997_Acoustic_Research_RX_2010_005.jpg 640w, https:\/\/hifihq.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/6997_Acoustic_Research_RX_2010_005-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> Performance \u2013 For only a 10inch subwoofer, it packs a serious punch. It is easily the most impressive sounding 10inch subwoofer I\u2019ve come across. To be fair I was looking at mostly ~$1,000 subwoofers (Kef Kube, Jamo, Paradigm, Polk and B&amp;W) prior to testing this from the usual electronic equipment stores. During testing I had to go outside of my house to ensure the bass from the subwoofer wasn\u2019t keeping my neighbours up at night. My wife was seriously worried. If that\u2019s not a real-life indicator, I don\u2019t know what is. \u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hifihq.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/6997_Acoustic_Research_RX_2010.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"975\" src=\"https:\/\/hifihq.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/6997_Acoustic_Research_RX_2010-1024x975.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-914\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hifihq.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/6997_Acoustic_Research_RX_2010-1024x975.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hifihq.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/6997_Acoustic_Research_RX_2010-300x286.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hifihq.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/6997_Acoustic_Research_RX_2010-768x732.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hifihq.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/6997_Acoustic_Research_RX_2010.jpg 1095w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Conclusion &#8211; It gives music that extra\ndimension of nearly being at the concert, the battles in movie scenes feel more\nrealistic and the gun shots certainly have texture. It\u2019s clearly the missing\npiece to my home theatre puzzle. I was told Acoustic Research took time out\nfrom making subwoofers to create something special and have only recently come\nback into this market. They have certainly achieved a masterpiece. At the\ncurrent price point, it\u2019s not a quick decision. But when you\u2019re short on space\nand in need of high impact but still within a compact frame, it\u2019s certainly\ngoing to tick all the boxes. If you were upgrading, I haven\u2019t heard a better\nperforming 10inch subwoofer and if you were adding this to your system, music\nand movies will never be the same. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples of things watched:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watched Kygo: Live at Hollywood Bowl<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vikings Series<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ballard of Buster Scruggs<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wreck it Ralph<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taylor Swift -Reputation Tour<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Iron Man 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gladiator<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clash of the Titans<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Justin Timberlake + the Tennessee Kids<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elton John \u2013 A tribute <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In order to give this a fair go, I didn\u2019t read any other reviews of the RX-2010 and I\u2019ve put in at least 40 hours of listening in a combination of music and tv\/movies.
