Know before you buy
These speakers are designed to work with amplifiers delivering between 25 and 120 watts per channel. Given their 84 dB sensitivity, they perform best with an amplifier that has enough headroom to drive them comfortably without clipping.
The transmission line design uses an internal folded path to guide the sound waves from the back of the woofer, which significantly extends the bass response. This results in a deeper, more controlled low-end performance that feels more natural and less boxy than standard ported designs.
A 9/10 rating indicates that these speakers have been thoroughly inspected, tested, and serviced to ensure they meet original performance standards. The cabinets have been refreshed and detailed, meaning they are functionally excellent and aesthetically very clean, showing only minimal signs of previous use.
Yes, their relatively slim footprint (8.25 inches wide) makes them quite versatile for various room sizes. However, because they are floor-standing transmission line speakers, they will benefit from being placed a few feet away from walls to allow the bass output to breathe and prevent the sound from becoming muddy.
These speakers are known for a bright, open, and airy presentation. They prioritize clarity and spatial precision, making them an excellent choice if you value detailed imaging and a transparent soundstage over a heavy, colored bass response.
