Clear, Detailed and Efficient

I use these for a local Theatre where vocal clarity is critical. These are the most efficient and detailed 12" speakers that I have listened to and I am very happy with them. I would certainly recommend them for applications where efficiency, clarity and detail is required. They reproduce the detail of orchestral recordings.

My only recommendation to the manufacturer would be to use spring terminals rather than spade terminals. However once you connect them you are unlikely to take them out!

One concern I had was that the power rating was relatively low, but that should not be cause for concern because these speakers are efficient and produce a lot of volume for relatively low power input. I use them with a sub crossed over at 100Hz and the highs rolled off at 1.6kHz.
