    Proof



    from

    Samsung Singapore - New Showroom | Facebook



    Pictures from disassembly of the model in question.

    Is this a speaker with a subwoofer?


    Speaker on top left and another near heatsink


    Only TWO speakers found - Where's the subwoofer?

    Question: Validity of Claim?

    OT: Post 444, unlucky and inauspicious! :rolleyes:

    So what is this (red arrow)? I believe that is a speaker.

    This picture from the disassembly guide shows it even better. Definitely a speaker.

    I disassembled earlier. The two speakers are at the hinge. The lone one is the subwoofer.

    BNM-NIKE15L
    BNM-NIKE15R
    BNM-NIKE15W

    Anyone heard of BNM speakers? Are these 1.5W or 2W?

    Audio power ratings can be manipulated. Does Samsung mention peak or RMS power and the level of distortion when used at that power rating. Ignore the ratings. The important consideration is the audio quantity and quality. Is there a hint of bass?
