Listening to the Woburn III is a visceral experience. The three-way driver system ensures that the low-end frequencies are handled by a dedicated 90W amplifier, preventing the bass from muddying the mid-range vocals. The outward-angled tweeters and updated waveguides create a consistently solid sound that follows you around the room. Whether connected to a turntable via RCA or streaming high-resolution audio via Bluetooth 5.2, the audio remains crisp. The addition of HDMI ARC allows the Woburn III to function as a high-fidelity TV speaker, with a Night Mode feature that keeps the neighbors happy by reducing loud peaks while maintaining dialogue clarity.
Compared to the smaller Stanmore III, the Woburn III offers significantly more headroom and a dedicated midrange driver, which provides superior vocal separation and a fuller soundstage. While traditional soundbars often focus on virtual surround sound, the Woburn III prioritizes high-fidelity stereo imaging and raw power. It is a more robust solution for users who find standard wireless speakers lacking in physical impact and low-end extension, reaching down to 35 Hz without the need for an external subwoofer.
