At 20.5 x 37.7 x 31.5cm, the In Vita 3 maintains a genuinely manageable footprint for a bookshelf-classified design.

Sound and use context

Expect genuinely explosive dynamic headroom reflecting the notably high 90dB sensitivity combined with the exceptionally wide 30Hz-43kHz bandwidth, meaning this speaker reaches satisfying volumes readily from a wide range of amplifiers.

Pairing

The standard 8 ohm impedance and wide 20-160W recommended range suit a genuinely broad selection of amplifiers.
