Product description
A three-way stand-mount built around the 12th-gen Uni-Q array (25 mm MAT tweeter in a 125 mm aluminium midrange) with a dedicated 165 mm hybrid-aluminium woofer, rear-ported. Splitting bass and midrange out brings R-series technology to a bookshelf footprint — a big-sounding stand-mount that rivals many floorstanders, given stands and a grippy amp for its 4-ohm load.
