the range of bass output usable in-room bass response extends well into the low 30hz range our cabinets are 45 ½ t x 9 w x 14 ¼ d the crossover network is conventional except for a parallel circuit which suppresses the response peak due to the magnesium cone the crossover frequency is 2.5khz nordost 2-flat wire supplied with kit thor was designed by dr joseph d appolito who is world-renowned for

following comments the vented box is tuned about 15 lower than the ubiquitous qb3 alignment to yield a better damped bass response several hundred hours of laboratory testing and listening have gone into this system you literally can t tell where the woofers leave off and the tweeter begins seas loki kit the seas loki kit features a 7 coaxial speaker where the tweeter is coincidently mounted at the base of the woofer cone the type of configuration allows the listener to hear the sound emanating from the tweeter and woofer at the same time from any listening position in a conventional system depending on where you are listening from you may here the individual components at different times since you are physically 8 w x 15 t x 11 d at a different distance from each speaker component this delay time as small as it is is perceivable by the listener this is why most multiple loudspeaker systems have a sweet spot where the speaker sounds best the loki sounds fantastic from a very large listening area there is virtually no sweet spot this little speaker is a big performer and will surprise you with its big speaker sound stage we suggest considering it for home theater it is also magnetically shielded computer speakers satellite speakers for a subwoofer or just as stand alone book shelf speakers the cabinets are made from 3/4 mdf 1 front baffle with real wood veneer they are
