Crystal Acoustics TX-B1-BLA Bookshelf speakers -Pair

The most distinctive piece of engineering on the TX-B1s is the original 'free air' tweeter. Sitting in its own ultra-rigid, spherical, aluminum enclosure on top of the 12in tall cabinets, the 1in silk-dome, Neodymium tweeter can be rotated to face ear axis, making room integration far easier. Free of unwanted diffractions due its shape, this tweeter technology delivers clear, transparent sound with optimum dispersion. The magnetically shielded driver (which means the speakers can be placed close to a TV) is backed by a heavy duty, powerful magnet, delivering exceptionally high efficiency levels. With a sensitivity rating of 90dB/W/m, the B1s are a supremely amp friendly designs. The driver is housed in a curved cabinet, which helps reduce standing waves that can distort the sound. The cabinets may be small but are incredibly heavily braced at critical points to offer as acoustically dead an enclosure as possible. Such extensive strengthening of the cabinet panels maximizes the dynamic capability of the designs. The cabinets also offer small, narrow, though deep, footprints. This shape delivers drastic reductions in diffractions - especially from the front baffles - an incredibly three-dimensional soundstage, and far clearer stereo imaging.
