Bundle contents
This bundle pairs a 15 inch powered subwoofer with two 5.25 inch floor standing speakers. The subwoofer uses a 500W peak Class D amplifier and a sealed cabinet. The floor speakers use custom aluminium tweeters and aramid fibre woofers. Together they form a full range stereo system.
Low frequency output
The subwoofer extends bass response down to 25Hz. Its sealed cabinet design provides accurate transient response and blends with the main speakers. The 500W peak amplifier delivers high output with controlled power draw. The floor speakers handle midrange and treble without a separate crossover box.
Physical integration
The subwoofer measures 17 by 17.7 by 17 inches and weighs 50 lbs. Each floor speaker measures 6.8 by 40.6 by 9.7 inches and weighs 34.6 lbs. The black ash finish matches across all three enclosures. Buyers with limited floor space or who need wall mounting options should consider smaller alternatives.

Questions about this item
How do I connect the DS153 subwoofer to my receiver, and what setting prevents boomy bass?
Use the subwoofer's line-level input from the receiver's LFE output, then adjust the crossover knob and phase switch so the 15-inch driver blends with the tower speakers instead of overlapping them.
What part of the DF53 towers or DS153 subwoofer will need attention after several years of use?
The aramid-fiber woofers and aluminum tweeters in the towers are built for long life, while the DS153's Class D amplifier and 15-inch polypropylene cone are the components most likely to require service first.
At what volume level does the DS153 subwoofer start to compress during a long movie session?
The 500W peak Class D amplifier and sealed 17-inch cube cabinet maintain output down to 25Hz, but sustained reference-level playback will eventually trigger the amp's thermal protection before the driver reaches its mechanical limit.
