These features allow for adjustments in gain, low-pass filter, and phase settings, enabling users to achieve the perfect blend with their main speakers. The easy-to-use control panel on the rear of each subwoofer makes these adjustments simple and intuitive.

In terms of build quality, both the Stampede and Strata 5 feature elegant designs with premium finishes, ensuring they look as good as they sound. They are engineered to last, with durable materials that can withstand the rigors of extended use.
