"Audiophile" and "high-end" are terms thrown around all-to-often. Contrary to say-anything marketing pitches by the usual suspects, true audiophile-approved desktop speaker systems are extremely rare. Audiophiles also know it is extremely rare for a system to possess extreme transparency and clarity, while at the same time remaining smooth and non-fatiguing. With the FPS-200, not only do you get solid stereo imaging without the use of tiresome sonic gimmicks, but you actually get a deep soundstage with palpable image and vocal placement. Can you imagine hearing soundstage ambiance from desktop speakers? The FPS-200 is the real deal.

These are not plastic toy speakers: these are extremely stylish, avant-garde, flat panel speakers with your choice of luxurious piano-gloss wood or clear acrylic for the panels. The panels are decorated with heavy brass inserts and even have knurled speaker binding posts. Based on a new breakthrough magnetic planar technology, the speakers are flat and compact. The subwoofer is heavy-duty: literally it is a massive brick of a box, constructed of vinyl-clad MDF with rounded edges and a classy, contrasting, recessed acrylic control panel. Even the control knobs have the silky motion found on expensive equipment. The FPS-200 exudes style and quality!

Features:
Tangible stereo imaging and a midrange to die for

Unmatched transparency, clarity and transient response

Exudes style and quality--knurled binding posts with your choice of a solid 1/2" thick transparent acrylic or piano gloss-lacquered mahogany wood panels, rather than the usual chintzy plastic box with spring clips

The subwoofer cabinet is constructed of rock-solid, heavyweight MDF with black acrylic accents, which houses a 5 inch acoustic suspension driver for tight, well-integrated bass

An integral amplifier produces 10 watts per channel for each panel and 20 watts for the subwoofer

Perfect for computer, MP3, and CD use on a desktop or even table top

Capable of extremely loud volume (sustained play of >90 decibels at 1 meter)

Frequency response 70 Hz-30 kHz

Panels are 5" W x 10" H x 1/2" D, and the subwoofer is 4" W x 9" H x 9 1/2" D

Hookup wiring included
