Know before you buy
No, this is a passive speaker bundle. You will need to purchase a separate AV receiver to power these speakers and manage your audio sources.
Using two subwoofers helps smooth out bass response across your room, minimizing 'dead spots' where bass might otherwise sound thin. It provides a more balanced and impactful low-end experience throughout your entire listening area.
The ES35 is designed with a slim profile specifically to fit easily under most flat-panel TVs without obstructing the screen. It is a great choice if you have limited vertical space on your furniture.
This certification indicates that the speakers are capable of reproducing high-frequency sounds with greater detail and accuracy than standard speakers. It ensures that high-resolution music files and modern movie soundtracks are played back with clarity closer to the original studio recording.
Yes, the combination of floor-standing ES50 tower speakers and dual subwoofers provides enough power and scale to fill medium-to-large rooms effectively. The tower speakers handle the primary front soundstage, while the dual subs ensure the bass remains authoritative in larger spaces.
You should use standard high-quality oxygen-free copper speaker wire to connect the speakers to your AV receiver. For the subwoofers, you will need dedicated subwoofer cables to connect them to the LFE or subwoofer output on your receiver.
