Frequently Asked Questions

The coaxial tweeter placement on the same acoustic axis as the midrange significantly improves phase coherence, resulting in a wider, more stable stereo image with pinpoint accuracy.
While they can be used in smaller rooms, their size and power necessitate careful placement and room treatment to avoid unwanted resonances and reflections; a larger space is ideal.
The oval shape increases radiating surface area, improving bass extension and transient response while minimizing cone breakup at higher volumes.
