Know before you buy
Yes, the C150 features a sealed cabinet design, which makes it much more flexible for placement than ported speakers. You can position it on a shelf or inside a media unit without worrying about bass buildup or boomy sound.
Yes, the Bronze C150 is a passive speaker and does not have a built-in amplifier. You will need to connect it to an external AV receiver or power amplifier to drive it.
The C150 is designed to work with amplifiers rated between 30 and 120 watts per channel. It is an efficient speaker with an 8-ohm nominal impedance, making it easy to drive for most standard home theater receivers.
The speaker uses a dedicated 25 mm C-CAM Gold Dome tweeter with a specialized UD Waveguide to disperse high frequencies more evenly. This helps ensure that dialogue remains crisp and intelligible even if you are sitting off-center from the screen.
Yes, the Bronze C150 is equipped with high-quality gold-plated bi-wire terminals. This allows you to use bi-wiring if your amplifier setup supports it, though standard single-wire connections will also work perfectly.
The C150 is compact and optimized for small to medium-sized rooms. While it delivers a powerful 109 dBA maximum SPL, it is best paired with other speakers in the Bronze series to maintain a cohesive soundstage in larger spaces.
