Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The AS-B2 Audition Series bookshelf/satellite speakers from Athena Technologies are perfect for music, PC, or home theater applications, providing clean, well-balanced sound with bass extending to an impressive 50 Hz for reasonably full-bodied sound without use of a standalone subwoofer. The speakers are magnetically shielded to prevent distortion when placed close to a television or computer monitor.

The 2-way AS-B2s each use a 6.5-inch injection-molded polypropylene woofer with a 1-inch Teteron dome tweeter. The 8 ohm-compatible speakers can handle up to 125 watts of amplification, and they're designed to be extremely efficient and therefore undemanding of your power amplifier. Most amplifiers with a power rating of 20 to 100 watts per channel will drive the speakers efficiently. If you're using more than 1 pair of speakers on the same amplifier channel, (an additional pair of speakers for another room, for example), make sure your amplifier can handle loads under 8 ohms.

For the best stereo "imaging," you should place the speakers the same distance from their respective side walls and equidistant to your listening position. Athena makes optional stands (SST-2234) and wall-mounting brackets (SWB-1) for these speakers.

Product Description:
The AS-B2 is a 2-way bookshelf speaker design that provides deeper and more bass output than the AS-B1 due to its larger enclosure and 6-1/2" Injection Molded Polypropylene woofer. Like all Athena TECHNOLOGIES (TM) AUDITION series speakers, the AS-B2 features Athena TECHNOLOGIES high powered 1" Teteron dome tweeter. Clear, distortion free mids and highs, with tight deep bass response. Able to handle up to 150 watts of amplification, and with bass all the way down to 50Hz, amazing for a bookshelf sized speaker! Just wait until you hear the AS-B2 and see the price, you won't believe your eyes, or your ears!

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Athena Tech AS-B2.......2007-01-05

Great speakers, almost better than the old model Polk Audio's that were the best back in the 80's. Highly recommeded!

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Bookshelf Speakers - period!.......2006-08-04

Indeed the Athena B2.2 bookshelf speakers are the best. After a careful review online, I settled on the Athena because of 1)value 2)quality. When first hooked up, it lacked bass and quality but after about 50hrs break-in period - the bass increased and the quality of the speakers improved significantly!

I have no subwoofer - only the Athena B2.2 and the Athena C.1 center channel yet I get deep pleasant bass in my 20X16 room. Its not boomy at all, just pleasant.

I hooked them up using 14-gauge speaker cable and power them with a Yamaha RX V559 6.1 receiver (XM-ready). The quality is soo excellent that I'm seriously debating whether I even need to bother getting the floorstanding Athena AS-F2.

Highly recommended - try it, you will love the sound quality!

5 out of 5 stars Best Speaker Deal.......2004-11-05

The AS-B2's compliment my AS-F2's perfectly. These are the best speaker values going. Unheard of value, a real treat when you listen to them. Comparable to speakers costing 3,4,5 times more.

Do a internet search and you will find many favorable reviews on these Audio gems.
