Soundmatters® www.soundmatters.com, the leader in high-quality, portable speakers founded by former NASA engineer/audio legend Dr. Godehard Guenther, announced today foxL® DUET, a high-powered compact desktop and travel friendly stereo hi-fi satellite and subwoofer system -- all in one.  DUET combines the foxL aptX, the newly-announced audio purist’s pocket-portable speaker/speakerphone and the palm-sized foxLO powered subwoofer to create an amazing duet!

Ultra-Compact Desktop/Travel Satellite + Subwoofer Hi-Fi System

World renowned for stretching the laws of physics with their diminutively sized high-performance loudspeakers, the foxL line is the gold standard in portable hi-fi speakers that other audio companies aspire to reach.  With Soundmatters’ new DUET bundle, music lovers finally have a full-range desktop stereo hi-fi system with deep bass -- all the way down to 38Hz.  If you’re headed on a business trip, just detach the subwoofer, pop the foxL portable speaker into your pocket or briefcase, and enjoy great sound anywhere.  Or if you’re going on vacation for the week, bring both the travel-sized foxLO subwoofer and foxL along. DUET’s flexibility provides the ultimate audio experience anywhere.  Great for tablets, smartphones, laptops and more, the foxL DUET system provides a $50 savings over the components’ individual prices.

DUET’s foxLv2 with aptX was called “The single most astonishing piece of audio gear I’ve ever heard,” by Stereophile’s Michael Fremer, and after hearing the DUET’s foxLO subwoofer, Darryl Wilkinson from Home Theater wrote that foxL “absolutely rocks in a way that something that small shouldn’t be able to do.”
