SKU: T70SYSTEM

Manufacturer: Atlantic, Inc.

Manufacturer description

The T70 is a compact, high-performance surround sound system designed to complement all the latest multi-channel receivers, DVD-players, video and audio inputs. The T70 system contains 6 pieces that deliver a stunning listening experience: a tilting center speaker, left and right front speakers, left and right surround speakers and a 10-inch 125-watt subwoofer. The T70 LR Front Channel Speakers are two-way systems intended for use only with a quality subwoofer. Each speaker contains a 4" TCMG (Titanium Coated Molded Graphite) woofer, and a 1" Ferrofluid cooled, Soft Dome tweeter with a powerful neodymium magnet, in an acoustically inert MDF cabinet. The T70 LR speakers are magnetically shielded so they may be placed next to a TV set without concern. The T70 C Center uses dual 4" TCMG woofers and the same 1" tweeter as the T70 LR speaker. The T70 C is designed for use only as a dedicated center channel speaker. It is magnetically shielded and will have no adverse effects on the TV. The T70 SR TriVector Surround Speaker is intended for use in multi-channel audio/video sound systems only as a dedicated surround speaker. Each enclosure has a 4" CCMG (Coated Composite Molded Graphite) woofer on the front and two wide dispersion 3/4" Modified Dome tweeters, one on each side. The dual tweeters and single woofer are electronically phased to produce diffuse ambience with limited localization. The T70 SR's unique TriVector design makes it well suited for all analog and digital surround applications. The T 70 PBM subwoofer sealed enclosure subwoofer creates an impressively solid bass foundation for your music and movie special effects. It employs a custom-built 10" long throw driver with a particularly stiff, non-pressed cellulose composite cone. A 2" four layer high temperature voice coil and vented pole piece ensure high output and long-term reliability. Power is supplied by a 125W discrete custom-built amplifier specifically matched to this driver.

crisp clean sound for the price

Pros:

Cons:

Review: This speaker system really rocks. The sound is so clean and detailed. When I combine it with my Yamaha-HTR5490 receiver it rocks the house. I live in an apt, that is the only downside, because I could not test the full volume. The bottomline is, I love the speakers, but it is a little bigger than the ones you see in best buy or circuit city (like Bose, Jbl, Sony or Polks). But if you are more particular with the sound, this is the one for you. I was a little worried when I ordered the speakers, because I just went by the reviews in CNET and audioreview.com. I am not disappointed anyway. The sub-woofer rocks too, again, be careful if you are living in an apartment complex

top end sound

Pros:

Cons:

Review: the I've owned this setup for a year, coupled with a high end Yamaha surround receiver. Even if space isn't an issue, you'll love the sound reproduction and well matched subwofer impact. From Heavy rock to jazz, this setup is a great match of affordability, quality and crisp sound reproduction. I was very impressed...
