But it’s the bass that shocks. Where the heck does that come from?
— Scott Hull, Part-time Audiophile
While it’s become an audiophile cliche to talk about mini-monitors that “defy physics” by creating extraordinary amounts of bass, the Prism could be the next bellwether for this type of thinking—all for a price slightly less than half the cost of the Pulsar. And while I suspect the Pulsar outdoes its little brother in terms of sheer size, it was almost shocking to hear the Prism create deep, tuneful bass that could instantly put a big smile on my face.
