Frequency and Power
The crossover frequency for the speaker is 2000 Hz. The frequency response is between 39 to 20,000 Hz. The speaker rating is 100 watts, the impedance is 8 ohms and its sensitivity is 90 dB. The power is 15 to 75 watts per channel.
Woofer and Tweeter
The woofer is 10 inches, calculated so that the placement provides maximum bass potential. The tweeter is one inch in diameter and is ferrofluid-cooled, meaning that it contains a small amount of a special fluid between the magnet and voice coil. This fluid allows the speaker to have a lighter voice coil which results in better overall performance.
