A 1-inch titanium dome tweeter pairs with a 5.25-inch woven carbon fiber woofer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eFerrofluid cools the tweeter's magnet, letting it play cleanly at high output. A rubber surround keeps the woofer flexible and long-lasting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eA rear-firing slot port shapes the bass response. The crossover splits duties at 2200Hz, for a smooth handoff between drivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eThis pair comes in Satin White, a finish that suits a bright, modern room.
