Athena Technologies AS-C1 Dual 5.5'' 2-Way Center-Channel Speaker (Single)
Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The perfect complement to a surround system built around Athena Audition speakers, the AS-C1 center-channel speaker will also provide clear, natural sound when integrated with your existing left/right stereo speakers--a convenient way to inch into full-blown surround sound when used in conjunction with a multichannel audio/video surround receiver.
While the AS-C1 was designed as a center-channel speaker in a multichannel surround speaker system, it can also be used in modular fashion for stereo sound (using 2) or for timbrally matched left, center, right, and surround placement (using 3 or more), affording both horizontal and vertical positioning.
The 2-way AS-C1 uses a pair of 5.5-inch injection-molded polypropylene woofer with a 1-inch Teteron dome tweeter. The 8 ohm-compatible speaker can handle up to 250 watts of amplification, and it's 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 speaker 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.
The rear-ported, bass-reflex enclosure allows the speaker cones to push more air, resulting in greater bass output and impressively full-bodied sound for dialogue and music alike. The speaker is magnetically shielded to prevent distortion when placed close to or atop a television.

One speaker, a speaker grille, and a user's manual.
Product Description:
Don't shortchange your home theater system by settling for just an 'adequate' center channel speaker. Get a stellar performer. You can afford it, too, thanks to Athena Technologies' newly upgraded Audition AS-C1.2 center channel speaker.
"As a center speaker I was quite impressed with the AS-C1," writes Jared Rachwalski in his July 2003 review of the original AS-C1 for Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity. "Dialogue never sounded strained or shrill. Most importantly, I heard the sounds from the screen and not the speakers. All in all, it did everything I want a center to do."
