Bluesound is known for its wireless multiroom audio components and speakers, a family that includes the Pulse soundbar. Bluesound’s original Pulse Sub subwoofer, created to pair with the company’s Pulse soundbar, was a welcome addition. But the new, re-engineered Pulse Sub+ delivers more power and a larger driver, plus even more sophisticated features to extend low frequency response with greater impact and accuracy.
Bluesound’s Pulse Sub+ ($749) is available in either black or white. The slim, trapezoid-shaped cabinet is designed to be mounted in a variety of ways. It’s slim enough to slide under a sofa or end table, and in that configuration four bottom-mounted rubber feet allow the 8-inch driver to fire upward. When positioned vertically as a side-firing sub, an additional set of rubber feet can be magnetically attached for floor placement, or you can use Bluesound’s included metal bracket for a wall-mount.
A 150-watt Smart Amplifier with DSP powers the 8-inch driver inside the Pulse Sub+, which has a rated low-frequency response of 22 Hz. The sub’s side panel has a colored LED ring that indicates pairing status and power, and inside the ring are buttons to control volume and other functions. It also has USB ports for firmware updates and a LAN port for a wired Ethernet connection.

The Big Clean
Chances are you probably do not think about the state of your electronic devices too often. Oh, you might think about all the upgrades you would like to make; where you would put those new tower speakers, or how a second or third subwoofer would really tame those bass modes in your room, or how much more cinematic a larger screen would be. Sure, you think about that part of your system. But how often do you think about the well-being of your system?

Bridging the Analog-Digital Gap on a Recliner
When I shopped for a motorized recliner, I rejected models with their own Internet Protocol address and built-in speakers. No need. I had already placed a smart speaker on an étagère beside the space where I had planned to put the chair. I'd have a smartphone in my hand and the room would be bathed in Wi-Fi.
