Dragon Subwoofer
Mastering the low-end realm of music and cinema soundtracks, the Epik Dragon is a subsonic tour de force. It is manufactured in the USA using the finest quality components to deliver world-class sound in an audiophile sealed cabinet.
Designed around a phenomenal 18" driver, it provides audiophiles and cinemaphiles alike with low frequency excellence to seamlessly blend with even the finest sound systems. The Dragon embarrasses higher priced subwoofers with its superior sonic performance while remaining compact and room-friendly.
When asked to reproduce the subtle pluck of a double bass in a jazz ensemble, it stops on a dime and adds nothing but the original presence and articulation on the recording. Details in recordings that you never heard before are revealed with incredible musicality.
Now, switch to a blockbuster DVD or Blu-Ray disc that has an amazingly dynamic soundtrack and sound effects. The Dragon's powerful driver couples with the air in your room to pressurize everything with a ferocity that is only matched by its sound quality.
Everything from thunder, to explosions, to epic space battles are rendered with awe-inspiring visceral energy as the 18 inch driver pulses in perfect sync with the soundtrack. All the while, the Dragon still retains its amazing control and lightning fast transients thanks to its sealed design.
Representing a new level of quality performance for a sealed reference subwoofer, it is easy to forget the Dragon's price tag. For under a grand, you can outperform those high-end high-priced boutique sealed subwoofers, but do so at a fraction of the cost.
Why spend four to five times as much on a sealed subwoofer, but get less performance? Instead, you can purchase this US built powerhouse.
Don't worry, you can spend the rest of the money on better speakers, a new Blu-Ray player or even an overhead HD projector! Or if you really want to push the envelope, you can always buy a second Dragon.

Driver |
 With its awe-inspiring size and incredibly powerful motor design, this 18" driver takes our subwoofers to the next level. The driver generates huge output without much effort, and keeps its distortion incredibly low. Along with thunderous output, it has incredibly tight bass and musicality.
It all starts with an extremely high BL (motor strength) high excursion motor design featuring a 3" voice coil and hyper-linear spider. Utilizing expensive high-strength ceramic magnets, the driver delivers both high sensitivity and low distortion.
To properly harness the power of motor, we used a massive cast aluminum frame. The downright beautiful silver-anodized frame aids in cooling the motor both with its surface area and its larger air flow vents located near the voice coil.
To move the kind of air that we at Epik demand, we utilized a beefy curvi-linear Kevlar impregnated paper-pulp cone. What makes it so special is our use of an extra tall and thin rubber surround. The surround allows for huge excursion, and also results in an enormous surface area.
The massive cone area gives this driver several huge advantages. It effectively uses less excursion for the same output level as a smaller driver. Lower excursion translates into lower distortion. It works less to create the same output than most drivers. In fact, the cone area of this 18" driver is roughly equal to a pair of 13" drivers. When directly compared to a single 13" driver, it only needs to move about half as much for the same output!
