\n
\n

$\u00a0<\/i>37,000<\/i>\u00a0<\/i><\/i><\/p>\n

Outwardly, the Acora Acoustics SRC-2 lacks stars from the sky, and \u201con paper\u201d the speakers have everything standard – a two and a half-way design, a pair of 7 \u201ddrivers with paper sandwich cones and an inch Ring Radiator tweeter, 92.5 dB sensitivity … Nevertheless, the reference cases weighing 111 kg are completely devoid of resonances, the crossover element base is precise, and the sound in terms of spatiality is more reminiscent of a window wide open to the street.<\/p>\n
