The best place to start listening to them is right here.

We think you'll find it easier to judge Technics speakers when you know how they're designed. How they perform. And the best way to listen to them.

Technics speakers are designed to be neutral. Designed to reproduce sound precisely, accurately, impartially. Without emphasizing one range of frequencies at the expense of another. Because tone shading is better left to the controls on your amp or receiver.

The performance you can expect from Technics speakers is indicated by their impressive roster of specifications. Which we've stated in meaningful terms in the chart.

Still, we know you don't buy specs. You buy sound. And that's something people measure better than machines. So, when you make your listening test, be objective:

1. Use components that are similar to your own. 2. Be alert for acoustic differences between the demo room and your listening room. 3. Compensate for unequal speaker efficiencies. 4. Listen to a wide variety of music--like jazz, classical, vocal, rock ... everything. So you can hear how the speaker handles the entire frequency range. 5. Evaluate these sonic characteristics: pitch, dynamics, depth, directionality, ambiance and timbre. 6. Concentrate on one instrument. You should be able to follow it even through complex passages. And its reproduction should compare to its live sound. 7. Check the dispersion. Listen for highs as you walk a 180° arc in front of the speaker. They should be sharp and clean in at least 120°.

We want you to give Technics speakers this demanding test because we're confident that they will stand up to other speakers. Even ones with bigger reputations.

The concept is simple. The execution is precise. The performance is outstanding. The name is Technics.
