Modern elegance. Legendary performance. In an elegant fusion of technology, performance, and stylish good looks, our new Reflection Series speakers deliver clean, balanced sound worthy of our thirty-year heritage. Performance is the monarch of this line’s feature set. Cutting-edge drivers and rigorously designed crossovers are enclosed in an ultra rigid, internally braced cabinet featuring a scratch-resistant high gloss finish that will endure years of play. That means these speakers will make themselves at home in any environment from living room to home theater. And after three decades of perfecting the Boston Sound, you can be sure these speakers will sound every bit as good they look. The RS223 is a compact LCR (Left, Center, Right) speaker. It can be used vertically as a left/right channel speaker, or horizontally as a dedicated center channel speaker in any home theater system. Its thin profile makes it a perfect choice to compliment flat panel displays, so it includes integrated “keyholes” for easy wall mounting. The RS223 uses a pair of 3.5-Inch Deep Channel Design (DCD) woofers coupled with a new Extended Wide Bandwidth (EWB) tweeter. The woofers employ Fiber Ceramic Copolymer Material (FCCM) cones providing the rigidity and low mass required producing an exceptionally smooth response. The new EWB tweeter follows the design found in our flagship VS Series Super Wide Bandwidth tweeter. The tweeter’s diaphragm is terminated to a metal plug at its center (creating a dimple)—stabilizing linear motion to significantly lower distortion while improving dispersion, power handling, and clarity. RS223 LCR speaker delivers pure Hollywood excitement by way of Boston. Their elegant scratch resistant black lacquer finish and contoured corners complement any décor and deliver no-compromise audio excellence. These LCR speakers are ideal for any home theater or surround sound system.
