Trends Audio Launches New Affordable Bookshelf Speakers
Mon Dec 19, 2011 at 10:00 AM ETTags: Bookshelf Speakers, Speakers (all tags)
The new SA-10 and SA-10R from Trends Audi offer a nice looking speaker with some nice audio stats at a nice affordable price.
The speakers are fairly similar in design, both using a 1" polymer dome tweeter and a 5-1/2" woofer with a pulped paper cone. Both the larger speaker and the tweeter are wide-dispersion so you won't have to worry too much about finding the exact sweet spot.
Both feature a front-mounted bass port that allows a frequency response as low as 65Hz and can be driven by between 15 and 70 watts of power. The main difference between the two is that the SA-10 features a center mounted tweeter while the SA-10Rs have one tweeter towards the left and one toward the right.
Both are available now at a price of $265.

Atlantic Launches New AT-2 H-PAS Bookshelf Speakers
Fri Dec 16, 2011 at 12:00 PM ETTags: Atlantic Technology, Speakers, Bookshelf Speakers (all tags)
The 16" speakers boast frequency response as low as 41Hz.
The folks over at Atlantic have put their H-PAS technology into a pair of bookshelf speakers that are able to produce distortion free bass at frequencies down to 41Hz. That's a good chunk lower than most other speakers of the same size and specs.
Atlantic's AT-2 utilizes a 5-1/4" long-excursion woofer and a 1-1/8" tweeter to reproduce the highs and lows. The tweeter is the same one you'll find in the AT-1 and has a crossover frequency of 2,200Hz.
Atlantic Technology president, Peter Tribeman says that the H-PAS algorithm has worked remarkably well in adaptation to the smaller AT-2. He adds, "These new bookshelf speakers are going to have lots of people looking futilely for a hidden subwoofer."
The AT-2 is available now at $1,800 a pair.
