Our entry-level speaker is folded into the smallest possible form factor. As far as we know, it is the most compact floorstanding open-baffle speaker ever released – measuring just 21cm at its widest point. Despite its size it produces clean, natural-sounding bass down to 40Hz (±3db). Each of the two 434 models (the number refers to their bass displacement per channel) features upper-frequency drivers with superb phase coherence and surround-sound imaging, which also makes them ideal for use as AV speakers in an active cinema system.
The direct-marketed price is effectively that of a full system: including four channels of amplification, digital crossovers and digital-analog conversion. No interconnects, no speaker cables. For best results, just add a bitstream.
