Product Summary

Braced cabinet construction dramatically reduces cabinet resonance by adding the twin 

virtues of strength and rigidity to the cabinet walls. Gold-plated terminals permit bi-wiring 

or bi-amplification. 

Having the tweeter separate from the main cabinet readily allows it to be set back and 

time aligned with the acoustic centre of the bass/midrange cone, which is located behind 

the plane of the front baffle, and minimises the effects of diffraction from the cabinet edges.

This results in improved imaging and coherence.
