The optional $120 TX1 wireless transmitter delivers signals to up to two subwoofers at a time, and two transmitters can be used simultaneously to create a four-subwoofer system. The sub is available in black, silver, or cherry.

The on-wall models include the $250-each M8 two-way with two 3-inch woofers and one 1-inch tweeter. It functions as a small front speaker or as a surround. The $500-each M10 three-way features dual 3-inch woofers, dual 3-inch midranges, and 1-inch tweeter. It’s designed as a front left-right speaker. The $500-each C10 is a center channel with the M10’s specs. And the LCR8 is a $750 three-channel soundbar with dual 3-inch woofers and 1-inch tweeter per channel. All can be used with the wireless sub to extend bass response. A stand for the M10 retails for $200 each.
