Overview
A passive radiator working alongside a BDSS mid/bass driver gives these small Definitive Technology speakers more low end than a sealed box this size. An aluminum dome tweeter handles the top, and they fit on shelves, stands or walls.
Bass extension from a small cabinet makes them a fit for desks, bookshelves and surround positions where large speakers will not go. They need an amplifier, and impedance is not stated for matching.
Who it's for
Music listeners with an amplifier and home theater owners filling rear channels get compact boxes with real low end. Those without any amplifier should choose powered speakers.
Pros and cons
- Passive radiator deepens bass
- Compact for shelves and walls
- Aluminum dome tweeter for clear highs
- Works as stereo pair or surrounds
- Needs an amplifier or receiver
- Impedance not listed
- Mounting hardware not mentioned
Performance notes
Low end comes from the passive radiator, which moves with air pressure from the driver to reinforce bass below where the cabinet alone rolls off. The aluminum tweeter reaches high frequencies for clear detail. Placement near a wall adds bass, while stands give cleaner imaging.
