Know before you buy
The Gelcore construction uses a specialized non-setting gel between two layers of cabinet material. This design effectively absorbs high-frequency vibrations, converting them into heat to ensure the sound you hear is pure and free from cabinet-induced coloration.
While the Concept 50 is designed to perform exceptionally well in larger spaces, its precise imaging and controlled resonance make it versatile enough for medium-to-large rooms. However, ensure you have enough floor space for their 40.4-inch height and the required clearance for the isolation base.
The Concept 50 has a sensitivity of 90.5 dB and is recommended for use with amplifiers between 25 and 150 watts per channel. This makes them relatively easy to drive, though a high-quality amplifier will better showcase their dynamic capabilities.
Yes, the speakers feature bi-wire terminals on the rear. This allows you to connect separate cables to the high and low-frequency drivers if your amplifier and cable configuration support it, potentially offering a cleaner signal path.
HPE (Helmholtz Pressure Equalizer) technology is designed to equalize internal air pressure within the cabinet. By eliminating internal standing waves, it ensures the bass remains tight, accurate, and free from the 'boomy' artifacts often found in larger floorstanding speakers.
No, these are floorstanding speakers that come equipped with an integrated isolation base. This base is designed to decouple the speaker from the floor, minimizing vibrations and providing a stable foundation for the drivers.
