Hi Louis

Sealed - 50Hz to 18KHz.

Thanks Bronal. You are correct.

These make bass and quality bass at that.

Thanks,
Louis

Part of the warranty includes a set of drivers.
First set that are damaged or blown up, pushed in, whatever are on me.

I want everybody to play them without worry like I do. Play them loud and have fun.

Thanks,
Louis

Hi doctorcilantro,

I assume these are bottom ported similar to your Omega XRS speakers? Does that mean they are fairly easy to place in rooms, even close to walls?

[AudioAddiction]

markm1111 - Yes these are bottom ported.  Very room friendly.  I've put some of the Omega's in some very difficult rooms with great success.

Hi markm1111,

AudioAddiction is right and the speakers are bottom ported. They can also be configured in sealed or vented modes. This also helps with room placement.

Thanks,
Louis
