Helium2
What can be said about Helium2, which has not
yet been covered in the reviews? A recommended Budget Component nomination
from Stereophile for two years in a row. Helium2 is truly a small
benchmark speaker, or as one reviewer put it "A Classic".
Helium2s solid 22 mdf enclosure houses a 25 mm (1") titanium tweeter
together with 5,25" nomex midrange. A low crossover point of 1600 Hz
ensure that drivers blend perfectly together to produce a cohesive and
natural sound. Helium2 might be the most versatile Amphion product yet and
user friendliness and flexibility are the key words.
As speaker is fully magnetic shielded it does not present any restrictions
on speaker placement or –usage. In addition to being a main speaker in a
small system Helium2 can be used together with a subwoofer as a superb
satellite speaker.
Helium2 is available in following baffle/cabinet combinations:
silver/natural birch, black/cherry, silver/silver and black/black. Finnish
birch veneer is used in both birch and cherry coloured versions.
