Product description
The R-40M turned into a whole system: the same 102 mm woofer and horn-loaded tweeter, but with 35 W a channel behind them, a phono stage with a ground post, Bluetooth, optical, USB, a 3.5 mm jack and a subwoofer output. The cabinet runs 41 mm deeper than the passive to hold the electronics and the extra bass that buys. One speaker carries the amplifier and the other is wired to it, so they are sold — and weighed — as a pair.
