Integrated Bass Radiator for Superior low-end Extension

Produces superior low-end extension with an integrated 5” x 9” passive bass radiator. Plus, the addition of a larger spider to the radiator reduces rocking and delivers cleaner, tighter bass response.

Audiophile-Quality Crossovers for Balance and Power

The Demand 9 is built with the latest premium audiophile-quality parts, including polypropylene metal-film capacitors and air-core inductors. These high-end components meticulously manage frequencies for clean and crystalline treble, refined and articulate midrange, and linear, low-distortion bass. This ensures that every detail comes through within a clear, balanced presentation that never sacrifices power.

Linear Response Waveguide™ for Natural Imaging

Patented Linear Response Waveguide™ extends both on-axis and off-axis frequency dispersion for more natural midrange timbre and precise imaging.

Flawless Home Theater Audio
