Power Sound Audio XS30 (Dual) Subwoofer (Active / Powered) Hi all, I have for sale two XS30 PSA subwoofers. Selling together and priced accordingly. Only one is pictured as they are in a difficult-to-access space in my room. The other is identical in condition. Can't buy subs like this in Australia anymore ! One of the most beautiful music and movie sounding subwoofers ever. I owned PB13-Ultra's from SVS prior to these and the PSA's are far, far and away superior particularly for music. https://www.hometheaterforum.com/community/threads/power-sound-audio-xs30-subwoofer-review.327181
An A$3,900 ask is ambitious against the obvious alternative at this level: a very good new subwoofer or a recent used flagship that still has fresh parts support and easier resale. I can’t benchmark this exact Dual model cleanly from the available data, so the price is hard to call “fair” with confidence; as listed, it reads more like a top-of-market ask than a bargain.
What makes it interesting is the usual subwoofer upside: deep extension, effortless output, and the ability to anchor a serious two-channel or home-theater setup without strain. If it’s genuinely well cared for, with original packaging, remote/app hardware, and no driver or amp issues, that can justify paying up a bit. At this price, though, I’d want proof of recent use, clean operation at high output, and whether any service history or accessories are included before considering it strongly.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Dual emerged from the Black Forest region of Germany in 1907, when brothers Christian and Joseph Steidinger began manufacturing clockwork and gramophone components in St. Georgen. The company adopted its now-iconic name in 1927 after pioneering dual-mode power supplies that allowed gramophones to operate from either mains electricity or mechanical wind-up mechanisms. This innovation marked the beginning of Dual's transition from component supplier to full-fledged audio manufacturer, establishing a foundation of engineering precision that would define the brand for decades.
Dual built its reputation primarily as a turntable specialist, becoming Europe's largest turntable manufacturer by the post-war era with over 3,000 employees across multiple factories. Beyond vinyl playback, the company expanded into cassette players, CD players, and broader consumer electronics throughout the 1970s and 1980s, demonstrating versatility across analog and digital formats. The company's focus on mechanical excellence and stable drive systems earned it recognition as a dependable, quality-focused manufacturer throughout its European heyday.
Today, Dual occupies a fragmented market position following corporate restructuring in the 1990s and subsequent ownership changes. The original German turntable line continues production in St. Georgen under Alfred Fehrenbacher GmbH, maintaining traditional manufacturing standards and appealing to vintage enthusiasts and collectors. Separately, Namsung Electronics markets Dual-branded consumer electronics in the Americas at accessible price points. The brand's legacy rests primarily on its classic turntables, which remain highly sought after by collectors and audiophiles valuing precision engineering and heritage craftsmanship.
