Description:

The AS-B2 Audition Series bookshelf/satellite speakers from Athena Technologies are perfect for music, PC, or home theater applications, providing clean, well-balanced sound with bass extending to an impressive 50 Hz for reasonably full-bodied sound without use of a standalone subwoofer. The speakers are magnetically shielded to prevent distortion when placed close to a television or computer monitor.

The 2-way AS-B2s each use a 6.5-inch injection-molded polypropylene woofer with a 1-inch Teteron dome tweeter. The 8 ohm-compatible speakers can handle up to 125 watts of amplification, and they're 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 speakers 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.

For the best stereo "imaging," you should place the speakers the same distance from their respective side walls and equidistant to your listening position. Athena makes optional stands (SST-2234) and wall-mounting brackets (SWB-1) for these speakers.
