The V-10 speaker ensemble includes two V-10 towers, a
V-6 center channel, two V-Surrounds, and a HV-1000 sub.
If you’re new to home theater, you
probably don’t understand much of
the technical jargon included in many
equipment reviews. Special features
need to be explained in layman’s
terms so you will understand. To even
consider buying new equipment
that will cause a strain on your
budget, you need proof positive
why it’s so essential to enhance your
movie and music collection.
I
can give the technical figures on home
theater systems and even do comprehen-
sive testing with expensive equipment in a
laboratory under ideal conditions. But what
good is information about laboratory testing
and ideal conditions? The bottom line con-
cerning audio and video equipment is how it
performs in a living room with a sofa, recliner,
carpeting and odd shaped walls. My living room
is my laboratory and technical specifications in-
clude how movies and music sound and feel.
Unique Features
Bill Hecht, founder and chairman of Phase
Technology, started building loudspeakers in
1955 and pioneered early speaker technology
with patented designs including the widely used
soft dome tweeter. In 1978, Bill created the
Phase Technology Corporation with the main
goal of building high performance loudspeak-
ers. The company produces numerous lines
of speakers to fit nearly every application and
budget. The newest generation of Phase
Technology high fidelity performance speak-
ers is the Velocity series. Named for its stream-
lined stylized shape and mind-bending accurate
performance, this versatile new series in-
cludes bookshelf, floor-standing and surround
speakers, as well as powered subwoofers.
The highly defined, powerful, performance-
oriented Velocity V-10 Premier System deliv-
ers great music and movie excitement at an
affordable price. The V-10 boasts a pair of
two-way V-10 tower speakers at the front, a V-
6 center channel, a pair of V-Surround sound
speakers and a powerful 250-watt subwoofer
with a 10-inch driver. The Velocity V-10 has
sleek lines and a contemporary design com-
bined with proprietary technologies to produce
unrivaled acoustic performance. The patented
soft dome tweeters are well matched to the
woofers in each speaker, which are designed
for extra long throw and use Phase
Technology’s proprietary VDT cones. The in-
jection-molded polypropylene cones have an
ultra-light layer of Vapor Deposited Titanium
for a smooth and extended midrange response,
while the long throw design allows the Velocity
system to play at high volume levels for ex-
tended periods without compressing or break-
ing up. The one-piece Uniframe speaker
basket/baffle assembly forms one of several
rigid layers that essentially eliminate the trans-
mission of vibration. The High-Velocity sub-
woofer matched to the V-10 system features a
mica/graphite polypropylene driver, which is
extremely rigid yet light enough to produce re-
sponsive and accurate floor-shaking bass. The
powered sub’s amplifier is servo-controlled to
digitally adjust output for dynamic, undistorted
bass, a gain control, phase switch and variable
crossover control are rear mounted above hi-
level input binding posts, low-level intercon-
