Product description
The smallest of the 2022 Reference bookshelves, and the one that makes the horn's case most plainly: a 102 mm woofer has no business reaching 71 Hz or hitting 91 dB, and it manages both because the 25 mm tweeter sits inside a 90 x 90 Tractrix horn rather than radiating into the room. Rear-ported, 3.2 kg, sold as a pair — the entry point to a brand whose house sound is efficiency.
