Know before you buy
The waveguide controls the tweeter's dispersion, which helps minimize unwanted reflections off your walls and ceiling. This results in a more precise soundstage and a consistent listening experience even if you are not sitting perfectly centered.
Yes, the 1723 Tower S is built for power handling. With enhanced heat dissipation in the voice coils and a robust HDF cabinet, these speakers maintain clarity and low distortion even when pushed to higher volumes.
While these speakers are efficient, their 2.5-way design and four 6.5-inch woofers benefit from a high-quality amplifier with stable current delivery. A dedicated power amplifier or a high-end integrated receiver will ensure you get the best dynamics and bass control.
The dual, rhodium-plated binding posts are CNC-machined to accommodate banana plugs, spades, or bare wire. They are designed for a secure, low-resistance connection to ensure signal integrity.
The included copper and rhodium jumpers are necessary if you are running a standard single-wire connection to the speakers. If you choose to bi-wire or bi-amp your system, you would remove these jumpers.
Because they are floorstanding speakers with significant output, it is best to place them at least 12 to 18 inches away from the front and side walls. This distance helps prevent bass buildup and allows the waveguide to project a cleaner, more open soundstage.
