A recent product announcement from Amazon, and a news item on this site and elsewhere, touted the launch of a “subwoofer” to supplement the response of Amazon’s popular Echo vocal assistant. Presumably it will work with the even smaller Echo Dot as well. But for me it raised a couple of eyebrows.
Given that the low frequency response of an Echo alone probably doesn’t reproduce any useful output much lower than 100Hz (admittedly an educated guess), the Echo Sub certainly can't hurt. But given its size and its 6-inch driver, there's no way that such a product it can be considered a subwoofer...
