Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Ignoring your budget for just a minuet..

To be fair they are active (something I approve of) so you get your power amps included in the price but the Phoenix seems a bit expensive for what it is ($360 worth of drivers in a pair) and the woofers are too far apart. For that money I would at least expect them to mill down the tweeter front plate to get the woofers closer.

On the other hand there are some really good alternatives for less money.
Not least the ATC SCM300A SL Pro. You get Class A power (ATC amps run in Class A up to 2/3 of rated output), two of the best 15" underhung woofers, the best mid-range for less than £22k ($37k) in a black box for soffit mounting (highly recommended) or £28k for a veneered box.

Probably the most accurate speaker around. Somebody measured them and they can produce 121dBSPL at an astonishing 0.3%THD.
