Features?
At the core is a 4½-inch low-loss paper/wood-fibre bass/midrange driver paired with a 26 mm soft-dome tweeter. The bass-reflex design extends response down to 63 Hz, reaching up to 25,000 Hz with wide dispersion for immersive, room-filling sound. Sensitivity is 83 dB, nominal impedance 4 ohms, and recommended amp power 40–120 W making it easy to drive yet rewarding with quality amplification. Maximum SPL hits 103 dB for surprising punch in small rooms. The cabinet features soft, rounded edges, premium vinyl finishes in bold colours (like Golden Yellow, Caramel White, Dark Walnut), and vibration-damping construction for clean, detailed playback across genres.

The front baffle showcases the 4½-inch woofer below the tweeter, with a sleek magnetic grille that pops off easily. Rounded edges and vibrant finish options give a modern, playful vibe that stands out without shouting. Around back: a single pair of high-quality binding posts and a rear bass-reflex port for flexible positioning.
