Product description
The small Zu, and the only one with a coaxial driver: an eight-inch paper cone with the compression tweeter mounted in its throat, so the whole speaker radiates from one point. There is no electrical low-pass on the main driver — only the voice coil's own reactance — and the tweeter crosses acoustically at 5 kHz. 94 dB from a box 381 mm tall, front-ported so it can sit on a shelf, and the only Zu priced per speaker rather than per pair.
