—-NOTES——
1. I have had the subwoofer since Autumn 2023 I have been testing it ever since
2. Some of the subwoofer test tracks I did for my review was:
Lord of the Rings Return of the King
Interstellar
Ready Player One
THX Sound demos

All of these tests were lossless quality of course.

2. I have also tested alot of music on this subwoofer over the recent months. Alot of bass heavy tracks have been played like UK Grime (Dizzee Rascal’s earlier albums in particular), dubstep, drum’n’bass and hip hop.

3. I found the XTZ 12.17 Edge to have a very nice sound quality that is very good for both music and movies: this is quite a rare find within the narrow range of direct-to-manufacturer subwoofers you find at this price point. Well done.

4. There are a few negatives of the XTZ 12 17 Edge in my review, but don’t take them too seriously as these points were minor – I had to put some negatives in as I am trying to provide a balanced review. I would still recommend this subwoofer to you in a heartbeart

5. I compared the XTZ 12.17 edge with some other subwoofers: the SB2000 Pro, SB3000, PC2000 Pro and the PB2000 Pro and the XTZ Cinema subwoofer.

There are obviously more subwoofers out there to choose from, but I couldn’t do this all day! If you would like my opinion on this XTZ vs another subwoofer of choice, just let me know in the comments below and I’ll get back to you with my opinion.

6. I live in the UK, so please consider in the review I am considering the XTZ 12.17 Edge for people who live in the UK and Europe regions. The advice might not apply to people who live in different regions due to different price levels, alternative models and import duty.

UPDATE:

MISTAKE MADE IN THE VIDEO REGARDING SVS SOUNDPATH FEET. THE SVS SOUNDPATH ISOLATION FEET COME WITH MULTIPLE FITTINGS INSIDE THE BOX WHICH DO IN FACT FIT THE SUBWOOFER.

MY APOLOGIES!
