Emotiva Airmotiv Speakers! Emotiva has introduced a line of extremely affordable loudspeakers, using ribbon tweeters no less! These models do not have amplifiers on board, so don’t confuse them with the POWERED guys Emo has on its site for studio use. These models are designed for home use, surround or stereo. These speakers have very extended high frequency response as a result of using the ribbons. You’ll find they sound quite clear, even with modest electronics- which includes light weight surround receivers.

GoldenEar Towers, Sans Built in Subs GoldenEar has made its name with wonderful sounding towers that have built in, powered subwoofers. They start at $2500 per pair and go up. They’re terrific speakers at good prices. A lot of visitors are surprised that GoldenEar also makes two towers that do NOT have powered subs on board. They make sense for the customer that wants GE sophistication- without the powerful bottom end. Maybe you’re in a condo. Maybe you have a nice outboard sub already. These two towers have the same attributes as their bigger brothers- with less shock and awe
