• Type: 2-way acoustic suspension (sealed box), passive standmount/bookshelf speaker.
• Drivers: 5-inch (or 5-1/4") woofer and a 2" to 2.5" paper cone tweeter.
• Impedance: 8 Ohms.
• Power Rating: Around 20 watts max / modest power handling.
• Dimensions: Approximately 12" tall x 9" wide x 5.5" deep (22.9 x 29.8 x 14.6 cm).
• Cabinet: Attractive mid-century modern styling featuring a real walnut wood veneer finish and fixed/attached front grilles.

• Sound Quality: They deliver decent fidelity and a warm, vintage presentation at lower listening levels, making them well-suited for small spaces like offices, dens, or low-volume background listening. [1]
• Limitations: Because of their small size and modest 20W class capacity, they do not play extremely loud or push deep bass, so they perform best when paired with a low-powered vintage receiver and kept at close range. [1, 2]
