Know before you buy
Yes, the Concept 50 speakers are passive, meaning they do not have a built-in amplifier. You will need to connect them to an external stereo or AV amplifier with a recommended power output between 25 and 100 watts per channel.
These technologies are designed to eliminate cabinet resonance and vibrations. By minimizing unwanted noise, the speakers ensure that the sound you hear is purely from the drivers, resulting in greater clarity and a more precise soundstage.
Yes, the Concept 50 features bi-wire terminals. This allows you to connect the high-frequency and low-frequency drivers separately, which can help reduce interference and improve signal clarity if your amplifier supports it.
The speakers utilize HPE (Helmholtz Pressure Equalizer) technology to manage internal air pressure, which helps prevent standing waves. Additionally, the isolation suspension base decouples the speaker from the floor to prevent vibrations from coloring the sound.
With a 5-inch woofer and a compact floorstanding footprint, the Concept 50 is well-suited for small to medium-sized listening environments. Their design focuses on high-fidelity performance and controlled bass, making them effective in spaces where you want detailed sound without overwhelming the room.
