The Davis Acoustics Ariane 5 is a floorstanding speaker from the French manufacturer, combining a low impedance with high sensitivity in a slim cabinet.

Key specs that matter

The Ariane 5 covers 42 Hz to 20 kHz. It is rated at 92 dB sensitivity with a 4 ohm nominal impedance, and Davis recommends 80 to 150 W of amplification. The tower measures 90 x 19 x 26.2 cm and weighs 13 kg.

Pairing

Because of the low impedance, the amplifier should deliver current comfortably, yet the high sensitivity keeps power needs in the middle range.

Alternatives

The Davis Acoustics Krypton 6 is a floorstanding alternative with an easier 8 ohm impedance.
