The award winning AS-B1 Speaker is a 2-way design that can be used as front or rear channel speakers in your system. The compact design allows for easy placement, either on speaker stands, or in a bookcase or wall unit. The legendary athena 1" Teteron dome tweeter will provide clear extended high frequencies, and the Injection Molded Polypropylene 5-1/2" woofer provides authoritative bass response down to 60Hz. The AS-B1, like all athena TECHNOLOGIES™ speakers is magnetically shielded, making them safe to use near your TV. The silver baffles provide a high tech look, so with or without the "stand off" style grilles, the speakers look almost as good as they sound!
