HTM-200SE DESCRIPTION

 

This highly versatile speaker will eliminate the typical response "hole" found in almost all compact home theater systems. This hole is caused by similar sized loudspeakers playing down to only 200Hz while the subwoofer only plays up to 100Hz, leaving a large audible gap in the in-room response. This remarkable compact speaker has accurate tight bass down to 70Hz, while also providing a smooth and linear response with exceptionally wide room filling dispersion.

Its sealed design combined with different orientation options and easy wall mounting make the HTM-200SE our most placement friendly speaker.  This speaker has become extremely popular for use as surrounds and in ATMOS systems, it also makes an exceptional main speaker when combined with a subwoofer.

HTM-200SE FEATURES

 

  • Hand assembled, tested, and packaged in the USA!

HTM-200SE MEASUREMENTS

 

*All of the measurements you see below are unsmoothed and use a 5dB/division scale where appropriate. It is common for loudspeaker manufacturers to publish measurements that have been smoothed to 1/3 octave (meaning 3 graph points per each octave) and use a 10dB/division scale. This has a tendency to make the graphs look smoother than they are.

We have chosen to be different.

HTM-200SE SUMMARY

 

Flat frequency response, exceptional dynamics and accurate mid-bass performance are features typically satisfied by high-end bookshelf style loudspeakers too large and expensive to be placed throughout a room for discreet home theater usage...

Problem solved... True Ascend performance in a speaker with a footprint only slightly larger than a CD jewel case.

Surprisingly deep bass response with a natural roll-off optimized to provide a seamless blend when paired with a powered subwoofer. This allows our unique speaker to be used as a step-up replacement for any of the speakers that are included in today's budget quality "home theater in a box" style systems.

Our proprietary tweeter, manufactured for us by SEAS of Norway, provides clean and airy highs with superb extension yet is smooth and non-fatiguing. Mids are clean and accurate with exceptional dynamics while retaining all the detail our loudspeakers are known for.

Do not let the price of this speaker fool you, there is nothing on the market quite like this product and we feel it deserves serious consideration as a true audiophile loudspeaker, for both music and movies.

A perfect center channel speaker: Lay the HTM-200SE on its side, place it atop your television and be prepared for an added dimension in your home theater setup. As a center channel, it provides controlled vertical dispersion and wide symmetrical horizontal dispersion so dialogue and effects are accurate regardless of listening position.

A superior front left, right, and surround channel speaker: Stand the HTM-200SE upright and it is transformed into an accurate compact monitor perfect for home theater AND two channel audio. As a left/right/surround channel it provides controlled horizontal dispersion (minimizing room boundary effects) and wide vertical dispersion for an extremely large soundstage. Perfect for discreet wall mounting!
