## About

The smallest tower in the range and still a three-way, which at $698 a pair is the whole argument for it: a 140 mm cone doing nothing but midrange, two more below it for bass, and the 25 mm X-PAL dome above. One woofer fewer than the 6000F and a cabinet 8 cm shallower, which costs 2 Hz at the bottom and two decibels of sensitivity — 55 Hz and 88 dB anechoic against 53 Hz and 90. Rear-ported, 100 cm tall, 16 kg, and light enough to move with one hand. Matte black or gloss white.
