Compound-Curved Baffle. Soft-Dome Tweeter. Removable Grille. 5" Midrange.10" Woofer.

The ASX-1383 uses the same revolutionary design principle found in speakers costing up to $1000 and more. This linear phase design aligns each driver's radiating surface in the same plane so that the entire sound output — bass, treble and midrange frequencies — reaches your ears at the same time. The result is a clarity and richness of sound and reproduction of transients (which is what music is) that you simply have to hear to believe.

The drivers used in the ASX-1383 provide full frequency response with excellent dynamic range. The ASX-1383 uses a 10" high-compliance long-throw woofer, a 5" high compliance long-throw midrange and a soft-dome high-compliance 1" tweeter. The soft-dome tweeter provides the smoothest high frequency response of any tweeter we've seen. A linear phase, constant-voltage crossover network distributes frequencies smoothly and evenly without altering the system's phase response. The speaker elements are arranged for minimum line height (the entire distance from woofer voice coil to tweeter voice coil) to approximate a single-point sound source for increased dispersion and sound realism at all frequencies. This ensures good sound and stereo imaging regardless of listening position. Each speaker is individually fused for protection.

The ASX-1383 has been designed to look as great as it sounds too. The cabinet is select Brazilian rosewood veneer with a center-book-matched front panel for an elegant look in any decor. A charcoal black "acoustically transparent" grille cloth complements the cabinet. Sold in matched pairs only. We believe they're the finest speakers you can buy at any price!
