Know before you buy
Yes, the Silhouette is designed to function as a full-range main speaker. Its three-way driver configuration and internal crossover are specifically engineered to provide a wide, immersive soundstage that works effectively for both front mains and surround channels.
The Silhouette features a specialized internal crossover that automatically corrects for wall boundary dips. This ensures that the frequency response remains accurate and balanced, preventing the 'thin' sound often associated with shallow on-wall speakers.
These speakers have a sensitivity of 92 dB and an impedance of 4 Ohms. While they can be powered by an amplifier starting at 25 watts, using a high-quality amplifier with sufficient headroom will provide the best performance and dynamic range.
Installation is straightforward thanks to the included French cleat brackets. These allow for a secure, flush mount against the wall, though you should ensure your wall structure can support the 50-pound weight of each unit.
With a frequency response down to 42 Hz, the Silhouette provides significant bass output on its own. However, for a full-scale home theater experience that requires deep, visceral low-frequency effects, adding a dedicated subwoofer is recommended.
Yes, the Silhouette is designed to pair perfectly with the Silhouette Center speaker. Using them together ensures a seamless, timbre-matched soundstage across your front array.
