Argon Audio Malmö Sub 10 Active Subwoofer, Walnut (Each)

The Argon Audio Malmö Sub 10 in Walnut is an active subwoofer with a 25 cm driver, a Class D amplifier and a bass-reflex cabinet in a wood-look finish. It delivers the low-end foundation for larger living spaces, without needing a black block standing next to the sofa.

Why the Malmö Sub 10 in Walnut?

A 32-centimetre cube is hard to hide – so it might as well look like a piece of furniture. The Walnut finish does exactly that. Technically, everything stays the same: 100 watts continuous power, 200 watts peak, a long-throw driver 25 centimetres across, and a reflex port that fires downward into the room.

What you get

The controls stay deliberately analogue: a knob for the level, one for the crossover frequency between 35 and 120 Hz, plus a phase switch with 0 and 180 degrees. No menu, no app, no firmware. The auto-on circuit takes care of switching on and off for you and keeps the unit drawing under half a watt at rest.

Who is the Malmö Sub 10 in Walnut suited for – and who isn't it for?

Honestly: if your amplifier has no RCA pre-out or subwoofer output, this unit won't fit without an extra solution – there's no high-level input for speaker cable. But if a large living space, wooden furniture and a wish for real deep bass all come together, this finish is the obvious answer.

Our verdict

Frequently asked questions

How much space do I need for the Malmö Sub 10?

The cabinet measures 32 centimetres wide, 32.9 tall and 35 deep. Add a little clearance at the back so the connections and controls stay accessible. No extra clearance is needed underneath – the standard feet keep the floor port free.

Can I also use the Sub 10 just for music rather than films?

Absolutely. For stereo, turn the level noticeably down and set the crossover lower, so the subwoofer complements the main speakers rather than covering them up. Set up correctly, you mainly gain calm and a sense of space – not loudness. We're happy to work through exactly that tuning with you.

Is the Walnut finish built any differently from Black or White?

No, the construction is identical: MDF cabinet, same driver, same amplifier unit, same dimensions and 12.4 kilograms of weight. Only the surface differs, here a wood-effect foil in a walnut tone. There's no sonic difference between the three finishes – you choose here purely by interior and taste.
