The bi-directional design fires sound in two different directions simultaneously, which helps diffuse the audio throughout the room. This creates a wider, more enveloping soundstage that mimics the way sound behaves in a commercial cinema, making it easier to get lost in the movie rather than pinpointing exactly where the speaker is located.

These speakers are compatible with most standard home theater receivers. They have an 8-ohm impedance and a recommended amplifier power range of 15 to 175 watts, meaning they are versatile enough to be driven by everything from entry-level receivers to high-end separates.

The Perforated Phase-Aligning (PPA) lens acts as a filter that smooths out high-frequency output, preventing harshness and ensuring the sound is clear and consistent. It also serves a practical purpose by protecting the delicate aluminum dome tweeters from accidental damage.

Yes, their low-profile, compact design makes them an excellent choice for smaller spaces where you want high-performance surround sound without bulky equipment. At just over 5.5 inches deep, they can be mounted or placed discreetly while still delivering a full, immersive audio experience.

Yes, you will still need a dedicated subwoofer. With a frequency response starting at 90 Hz, these speakers are designed to handle surround effects and mid-range clarity, but they do not reach deep enough to produce the low-end rumble required for cinematic bass.
