subs into nooks and cran-
nies that are too small to
accommodate the mon-
strous subwoofers that
typically accompany high-
end home theater systems.
Two PedWoofers can match
the power of nearly any
large subwoofer, and are
much easier to place dis-
creetly than one large sub.
Of course, you cannot
position a speaker just any-
where and expect it to
perform at its best. Atlantic
has taken this into consider-
ation with the 8200 system.
Placing a subwoofer in a
corner, for example, may
make the bass sound boomy
and undefined. Atlantic
solves this problem by
including powerful equaliza-
tion controls in the
subwoofer amplifiers.The
controls allow your installer
to fix such problems by
attenuating bass frequencies
reinforced by various sub-
woofer placements. A
remote control for the sub-
woofer amps lets you leave
the bass as your installer set
it, or select from four preset
bass equalization modes to
enhance the sound for
movies, music and even
late-night listening.
The front left, center and
right speakers are similarly

The SA8200 subwoofer
amplifier (top) provides
350 watts of power for
each of two PedWoofers.
The LED display in the

temporary volume adjust-

to the original level.
A machined aluminum
bezel (above) provides a
sturdy, stylish mount for the

speakers use the same driv-
ers and crossovers, and
sound almost exactly alike,
as they should.

sound-absorbing furniture
and thick draperies.
Another switch compen-
sates for the slight muffling
effect that occurs when
speakers are mounted
behind a perforated video
screen. A third switch opti-
mizes the sound for
situations in which the
speaker is mounted in a
cabinet or against a wall.
The switches combine to
produce 12 equalization
options, plenty enough for
precise tuning.
I must mention that the
8200 is one of the first few
speaker systems to earn
THX Ultra2 certification.
That means the 8200 has
passed the most stringent
quality tests devised by
THX, Ltd., a company
founded by Star Wars cre-
ator George Lucas, and is
suitable for use in rooms up
to 6,000 cubic feet. While
the merits of THX's certifi-
cation standards have been
intensely debated, many
audio pundits, including
myself, feel that in some
cases the characteristics nec-
essary to gain THX approval
have made speakers sound
worse, not better.With the
Ultra2 program, however,
the THX certification rules
are now much wiser.

While I have yet to be
impressed by the special
Ultra2 modes THX has cre-
ated for surround-sound
processors, the three Ultra2-
certified speaker systems I
have tested to date rank
among the finest home the-
ater speakers I have heard. It
seems THX, in its Ultra2
form, may finally represent
the reliable mark of quality
the company heralded more
than a decade ago.
My first thought upon
hearing the 8200 system in
my home is: It's right.With
most speakers, a certain
tone or style of sound is
