Raising the bar on their own multimedia systems, the MegaWorks 510D is a high-end 5.1 speaker system based on the Newton Series MC50 satellites, as offered by Cambridge SoundWorks, 500 Watts RMS of power, much like the Klipsch's Promedia 5.1.
The MegaWorks 510D features a rather almighty subwoofer, offering 150 Watts RMS of power & weighs in at about 20 pounds. Far from being just a powerful Subwoofer it offers several distinctive features that separate it from other multimedia systems. The most distinctive feature being that it uses a non-ported (Or acoustic suspension enclosure to be more accurate) down-firing one. The main benefits of this are that it eliminates port noise altogether (obviously) & provides a better transient response as compared to ported systems. Conversely using a ported design would improve bass efficiency for much lower frequencies.
