The Design 5 system is a larger speaker than the Design 4 and is engineered for larger spaces and or higher sound pressure levels. They will reach down to 50 Hz, a very low level of bass reproduction unheard of in a speaker this size. The overall result when blended with our silk dome tweeter is nothing short of breathtaking.

The Design 5 system works well for stereo reproduction. It was with music these speakers were voiced, however, they are more than dynamic enough for home theater. This is a system you’ll be proud to own no matter what you listen to.

Now everyone can be happy… the decorator, the home theater enthusiast, the casual listener and most of all… the Audiophile who never has to make the “looks for sound compromise” ever again.

Available finishes: Rosewood, Cherry and Black Gloss.
