## About

A classic two-way BBC-lineage stand-mount — a 200 mm RADIAL bass-mid and 25 mm ferrofluid tweeter in a thin-wall front-ported cabinet with the XD2 crossover. Long a benchmark for lifelike voices and instrumental tone, it rewards a medium room and quality amplification from ~25 W, on stands.
