Essence Electrostatic and SVS subwoofers team up

Essence Electrostatic Speaker Systems has partnered with SVS, to sell online and promote SVS subwoofers for use with its electrostatic speaker line. The SVS Gloss White SB-1000 (above left), SB-1000 in Black Ash, and SB13-Ultra Gloss Black (above right) sealed subwoofers were chosen "for having qualities that complement the unique sound profile of the Essence 1200 and 1600 electrostatic speakers." 

"After conducting exhaustive research on every subwoofer brand we could think of, it became clear that SVS sealed subs were more articulate, musical and transparent than any others we tested," enthused Essence Electrostatic's VP of sales and marketing Bob Rapoport. "We call the Essence Electrostatic speakers the "ultimate listening experience" because they are capable of producing a palpably realistic stereo image, something that's easy to hear and gives you the goosies. SVS sealed subwoofers will only enhance this experience."  

Unlike traditional speakers with magnets and woofers, electrostatic speakers use a thin-film Mylar diaphragm suspended in an electrostatic field between two perforated acrylic panels called 'stators' to propagate sound. The technology has a reputation for high levels of clarity, but doesn't move enough air to deliver deep bass. However adding a subwoofer to the mix will fill in any missing low notes.

SVS sealed subs, which feature Class D amplification and proprietary DSP, have a similarly enviable reputation following award-winning performances at hi-fi shows on both sides of the Atlantic. CEO Gary Yacoubian said the Essence endorsement was a "real validation of the engineering we put into our sealed subwoofer designs."
