Amazon.com Product Description
Drift away on music and feel the thunder with the AS-F1 Audition Series floorstanding speaker from Athena Technologies. Perfect for music or home theater use, the speaker provides clean, well-balanced performance with bass extending to an impressive 40 Hz for full-bodied sound even without the use of a stand-alone subwoofer.The floorstanding speaker is sold by itself, so pick up 2 (left/right) for starters or buy 4 or 5 for use as surround and/or surround and center speakers. (It will also mate seamlessly with other speakers in Athena's Audition series.) Use caution when planning the AS-F1's position as a center speaker, as its 36-inch height will conflict with the position of many TVs; a flat-panel television mounted to the wall above and behind a speaker would probably work nicely. Many of today's music-only surround-sound media--such as DVD-Audio, multichannel SACD, and DTS surround CDs--are mixed with 5 or more full-range speakers in mind, so if you have separate music and movie rooms, 5 speakers is the way to go.
The 2-way AS-F1 uses an 8-inch injection-molded polypropylene woofer with a 1-inch Teteron dome tweeter. The 8 ohm-compatible speaker can handle up to 200 watts of amplification, and it's designed to be extremely efficient and therefore undemanding of your power amplifier. Most amplifiers with a power rating of 20 to 100 watts per channel will drive the speaker efficiently. If you're using more than 1 pair of speakers on the same amplifier channel (an additional pair of speakers for another room, for example), make sure your amplifier can handle loads under 8 ohms.
The front-ported, bass-reflex enclosure allows the speaker cone to push more air, resulting in greater bass output, and the speaker is magnetically shielded to prevent distortion when placed close to a television or computer monitor. For the best stereo "imaging," you should place the speakers (assuming you use more than 1) the same distance from their respective side walls and equidistant to your listening position.
What's in the Box
One speaker, a speaker grille, and a user's manual.
Note: If you intend to use more than 2 AS-F1 speakers simultaneously, please contact your amplifier/receiver manufacturer to verify the low-impedance drive capability of your equipment.
