Wilson Audio Thor’s Hammer Subwoofer

Wilson Audio has never been one to follow a crowd. While other companies have been trying to make their subwoofers as small as possible, Wilson has released a humongous new subwoofer, with performance big and bold enough to back up its “Thor’s Hammer” name. The cabinet measures 59” H x 20” W x 25.5” D, and weighs 412 lbs.


The two 15” woofers build on the foundation of the WATCH Dog’s 12.5” long-throw woofer, and use dual-spider cone designs to lower distortion and keep movement as piston-like as possible. The Thor’s Hammer has a frequency range of 15Hz – 70Hz, and an optional outboard crossover can be used to integrate it into a full range system. Wilson leaves the choice of amplification up to you, as no internal amplifier is used.

The Wilson Audio Thor's Hammer Subwoofer will be available late 2008 with an MSRP of $21,000.

Wow. I realize Wilson uses proprietary phenolic material for their cabinets, have auto-quality paint etc, but 21K for two drivers in a ported enclosure seems a bit pricey. I guess at the stratospheric level their equipment is at though, that's probably par for the course.

Not to mention the off the shelf baskets, what looks to be a pulp cone, and standard foam surround...

Didn’t the old Wilson XS subwoofer use dual 18" Aura woofers in a 4th order with dual 8" ports, larger box and cost even less!!!!??

Yes.. yes it did.

There's a great line from the Soundstage review of the XS about how just how big that thing really was.

"As I stared at the XS standing there, I curiously noted how small the X-1s seemed. "Kind of like minimonitors," I muttered. My wife cried. I could not help but curse David Wilson for creating such a product."
