Finished 15" Duet Speakers (pair)

The “Duet” features one Silver Iris coaxial driver and one Silver Iris bass-augmenting Augie. The Duet is field convertible to a Trio* *Please contact us at info@hawthorneaudio.com for further information if you think you may like to upgrade to a Trio in the future. The Duet was designed to address a desire for a deeper and more profound low-end response. While not necessary to enjoy most music, we find that the addition of a bass augmentation driver to the basic Solo produces a rock solid foundation to the musical presentation. The music has more authority and commands a larger voice. Comments like “The bass was truly awesome” are not comments normally associated with open baffle speakers. We have changed that perception. Owners of the Duets will no longer think of open baffle speakers as being bass shy! Deep, tactile and visceral impacts are terms that aptly describe the presentation of the Duet. They create a rock solid foundation to the music in any room. You will no longer need to make excuses for your room or equipment again. We provide the Duet with a bass augmenting “Augie” driver that was designed to excel in an open baffle configuration. The Augie drivers are intended to be driven by a separate dedicated sub woofer plate amplifier (not included with the speaker). Any sort of DSP or EQ is not required with these purpose-built Silver Iris Augies. We offer these built up in either the 15” coaxial or the 10” coaxial. It is also possible to custom order a speaker with a blend of the two different size drivers. One common request is to use the 10” coaxial with the 15” Augie. Please write for further details.
