There are three tower speakers in the new line, the , , and .
The choice between these three will depend on the size of your room and budget. What is great about all three is that the midrange and treble sounds virtually identical on all of them, but there are some big differences in the bottom end output.
The R5 Meta is a three way design with two 5 ¼” hybrid aluminum cone low frequency drivers. This 54 pound speaker has a very slim front profile being just under 7” wide, about 40” tall and 13 ½” deep. We like the outrigger feet that come on all of the towers which provide a high degree of stability. They come with spikes for carpet or if you have hard surface floors, a flat pad the spike sits in.
The R5 Meta is the easiest speaker to set up in the tower series. With the smaller woofers, and somewhat limited bottom end, it will not interact much with the walls around it, giving you the flexibility to put it closer to a rear wall. If you are putting them into a room larger than around 12’ by 15’, we would recommend that you add a subwoofer.
