The Neutron Five speakers

The brand new Neutron Five in piano black finish. The little speaker with a huge sound
AVI has a passion for miniature speakers, properly designed, as are Neutron Five’s; they often give far better results than much larger and more expensive ones. They are also easier to accommodate and cost less because smaller boxes are cheaper. Most of us need or prefer smaller speakers.
Twelve years ago we introduced the original Neutrons. They were a big improvement on our “Reference” LS3/5A’s but sounded similar. They had very good reviews and sold surprisingly well but we weren’t overly confident so we re-designed them as NuNeutrons. These were improved to become Neutron III’s and eventually, improved again to become the Neutron Five’s. Thanks to almost all the Hi Fi magazine, Neutrons are an established reference and have sold in thousands and continue to do so. Users include small classical record labels, Film scoring mixers, broadcasters, composers, critics and thousands of Hi Fi and Music enthusiasts the world over.

Technical description
The Neutron Five’s comprise of a five litre, ported enclosure, fitted with a 125mm doped paper mid/woofer and a "top of the range" 25mm fabric domed tweeter. The small loss of sensitivity involved with this type of drive unit is more than offset by the greatly reduced distortion/colouration that they offer. The crossover is textbook second order and uses massive Ferrite cored inductors and polypropylene capacitors. Internal cabinet resonances are damped by a measured quantity of acoustic wadding.
