## About

A five-way tower whose drivers fire in three directions at once: three 6½″ carbon cones and the AMT on the front, a 4″ midrange out the back, and a down-firing 8″ woofer paired isobarically with a second driver hidden inside the cabinet. At 92.5 dB it is the most sensitive speaker Audiovector lists, and it handles 500 W.
