Emotiva Airmotiv T2+ Floorstanding Speakers- Pair

Original owner purchased two months ago. This is a very large full range speaker built to quality details. They play and sound excellent and are in new condition. Great for home theater or two- channel stereo listening with excellent bass response, clear midrange and imaging. These speakers compare favorably to others costing many times more and can be used with low power and high-power amplifiers up to 300 watts. Being so popular that most owners do not sell them and they are sold out at the manufacturer direct website and not available anywhere else new or used online No original box but will professionally pack in a heavy weight double corrugated box, Shipping limitations apply..

Mfg. Info-

The three-way Airmotiv T2 has two 8" woofers, a 5.25" midrange (with a true phase plug at its center that doesn't move with the cone), and an "Airmotiv folded ribbon tweeter." No crossover details are specified.

The cabinet is ported at the back though no port plugs are provided for sealed operation. The side and rear panels are made of 18mm-thick HDF, and the front baffle and internal bracing of 25mm-thick HDF. When I rapped a knuckle on the side panels, the sound was a little hollower near the bottom than near the top, which is not unusual. Removable, magnetically attached cloth grilles are included.

The T2 stands just over 42" tall by 10.7" wide by 12.25" deep. The areas around the drivers, particularly the midrange and tweeter and at the cabinet bottom, are faceted. Whether or not this helps reduce diffraction of the higher frequencies is hard to say, but it does add a bit of style to an otherwise plain, rectangular box. The T2 can be ordered in any color, as long as it's Satin Black. On the rear panel, two pairs of terminals make possible biwiring or biamplification. I found these five-way binding posts a bit hard to firmly tighten down over my speaker cables' spade connectors, though I managed. Banana plugs—even bare, tinned wire—would be more secure.

One visitor during the review period felt that the T2's combination of height, narrowness, and relatively light weight (56.9 lb) might make it a little less stable than most speakers of its size, which tend to be more massive. Still, at 10.7", it's wider than many current tower models. If this is a concern, some sort of DIY plinth, or aftermarket outriggers, might help.
