What customers say
The GOLDEN EAR Invisa SP 652 earns high praise for its exceptional audio fidelity, significantly exceeding typical in wall speaker limitations. Reviewers consistently note the impressive clarity and detail across all frequencies, highlighting articulate midrange and surprisingly robust bass. A major theme is the speaker’s ability to generate a wide, immersive soundstage, perfect for both music and home theater. Furthermore, the Invisa design is highly regarded; the magnetic, low profile grille allows the speaker to virtually disappear into the room, satisfying aesthetic goals without sacrificing sound quality. While the initial price is premium, buyers feel the superior performance justifies the investment, establishing strong perceived value for those seeking invisible, top tier sonic excellence.
Know before you buy
It is highly versatile and works effectively as a stereo speaker, a bipolar surround speaker, or a height channel for immersive audio setups. Its design allows it to adapt to these different roles depending on your specific room configuration.
This material is used to create a rigid, non-resonant enclosure that minimizes unwanted vibrations. By reducing cabinet resonance, the speaker delivers cleaner, more accurate sound without coloration.
The two High-Velocity Folded Ribbon (HVFR) tweeters are mounted in an optimized pod to provide wide, precise sound dispersion. This design helps create a more expansive soundstage and clearer high-frequency detail throughout the room.
The integrated switch allows you to adjust the tweeter output to better match your room's acoustics. If your room is overly reflective or 'bright,' you can use this setting to fine-tune the high-frequency response for a more balanced sound.
Yes, the Invisa SP 652 is a passive speaker and does not have a built-in amplifier. You will need to connect it to an external receiver or power amplifier to drive the audio signal.
