Key specs that matter

Rated response spans 30Hz to 25,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Sensitivity is 90dB, with impedance at 4 ohms. At 103.0 x 28.0 x 35.0cm and 23.5kg, the SKYE maintains a substantial full-size floorstanding chassis, finished in genuine wood veneer for domestic-environment integration.

Sound and use context

Expect effortless dynamics reflecting the excellent 90dB sensitivity, with the full-size floorstanding format and real-wood-veneer finish delivering both serious sonic scale and genuine visual refinement for domestic listening rooms.

Pairing

The demanding 4-ohm impedance calls for an amplifier comfortable driving low-impedance loudspeaker loads.
