Optional floor and table stands and even a wireless system further enhance the flexibility of this system, This system is capable of very high volume output that seems incomprehensible given the drivers' size, but this ability makes it a great choice for people wanting to fill large rooms with minim
The small size of the drivers will of course be limited by physics and, at extreme output, the sound will compress, affecting the sound quality, If you go with the wireless option, you will still need to run power to the speakers.
