HT8O 3-way tower speakers

HT8O, with the 2008 OW4 Hiquphon Platinum dome tweeter, retaining the same crossover points as our ribbon version.

Slim look with a lifestyle to itself! An MTM with twin side-firing 6.8" drivers tuned to 27 Hz makes a slim floor stander that is very easy to place in any room, at only 7" in width. With the woofers side-loaded you can control the low-end response by positioning them towards a wall or away from it. Bonus: you will need no subwoofer for most applications.

Frequency range

15 Hz – 40 kHz · log scale
In-room response down to 22 Hz; port tuned to 27 Hz.

Construction

  • Solen capacitors, Solen stacked capacitors even on the midrange
  • Sonicap Gen II by-pass capacitors on each capacitor value
  • Foil 16 gauge inductors measured for matched pairs (midrange and tweeter)
  • QED Silver Anniversary wire for all internal wiring
  • Cardas lead-free silver solder
  • 3/4" MDF sides and back, 0.75" bracing, top and 1.25" bottom plate
  • Finished in real wood veneer, magnetic grilles for the front
  • Black satin 1.25" thick bases, speaker spikes included

Finish

We apply a labour-intensive, multi-layered (6 coats!) lacquer finish, hand-polished to a vivid sheen that brings out the most intricate details of our standard real wood veneers. Assembled by hand, finished by hand, applied by hand: only the highest quality control standards are maintained from start to finish.

Each finished HT8O travelled in its own wooden crate, at a shipping weight of 105 lb.
