While it is compact enough to fit on a stand or a shelf, it utilizes a large 17 cm driver—the same size found in the series floorstanding models—to deliver a surprisingly deep and rich sound. It is the perfect solution for small to medium-sized rooms (12-25 m2) where musicality, vocal clarity, and space-saving design are equally important.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLarge 17 cm Cellulose Woofer: Unlike many competitors that use smaller 13 cm drivers in bookshelf models, the Ariane 2 features a substantial cellulose pulp woofer. This allows for a much fuller midrange and a bass response that feels \"big\" and authoritative.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTreated Paper Cone Technology: True to the Davis Acoustics heritage, the woofer cone is made from treated paper.

Because it uses a larger-than-average driver for its class, it possesses a \"weight\" and \"density\" to its sound that smaller bookshelf speakers lack. Voices are rendered with a beautiful, organic texture, and the high-end is smooth and airy. It excels at creating a wide soundstage, making it feel like the music is coming from a much larger set of speakers.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the Critics Say?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"Small Box, Big Sound\" (Stereo Guide): Praised for its ability to deliver floorstander-like midrange presence in a bookshelf format.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"The Vocal Specialist\" (Hi-Fi World): Noted for the exceptional performance of the paper cone, which brings a level of realism to vocals that is rare at this price point.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"Best for Home Cinema\" (AV Magazine): Highlighted as an ideal surround speaker or high-quality front-channel speaker for compact home theaters.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType: bookshelf – 2 ways\/2 drivers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWoofer : fiber glass 6.5″\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTweeter: 20 mm soft paper dome\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response (+\/- 3 dB): 48…22000 Hz\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Handling: 90W (Nominal) \/ 120W (Max)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity: 90 dB\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImpedance: 5 Ohms minimum\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (H x W x D): 34 x 20.5 x 26 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight: 6.2 kg\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe price is for 1pc.
