AVM Audition

The Audition CB 2.3 handles up to 140 watts of power. Given their 4Ω nominal impedance, they perform best with an amplifier that is stable at lower impedance loads to ensure the 160mm woofer is properly controlled.

While they are designed as bookshelf speakers, their performance benefits from being placed on stable, vibration-free surfaces. The integrated tilt mechanism helps you aim the sound toward your listening position, which is particularly useful if they are placed slightly above or below ear level.

Bi-wiring allows you to run separate cables from your amplifier to the high-frequency and low-frequency sections of the speaker. This can reduce signal interference and improve clarity, though you can still use standard single-wire connections if you prefer.

Despite their compact size, the 160mm sandwich woofer and bass-reflex design allow these speakers to reach down to 37Hz. While they won't move as much air as a large floor-standing model, they provide a surprisingly robust and natural bass output suitable for most living room environments.

The magnetically fixed covers are designed to be acoustically transparent, meaning they have minimal impact on the sound profile. You can leave them on for a cleaner look or remove them if you prefer the aesthetic of the exposed drivers.
