A molded 6½-inch bass/midrange driver operates in a generous 16-liter front-ported enclosure for excellent bass response. Sophisticated voice coil technology is employed to reduce distortion while increasing power handling. An improved 1-inch diameter silk soft dome tweeter is employed to smoothly extend high-frequency response beyond 20kHz. The response profile of the Rascal is extremely linear - producing 60-20kHz, + or - 2½ dB. Response is only -5 dB at 55 Hz. This extended response allows the Rascal to provide essentially full-range response when used alone, or provides for easy integration with a subwoofer, such as the Thunderbolt, to further extend response to 20 Hz. Both drivers are also magnetically shielded for use in close proximity to video systems.

Only select components, such as air core inductors and polypropylene film capacitors, are utilized in the hand-wired, point-to-point crossover, providing improved bass reproduction, dynamic range, image focus, and clarity over designs with conventional crossovers. Despite the popular price point, the Rascal allows long, fatigue-free listening sessions, in common with the more costly Alón loudspeakers. The Rascal cabinet employs a high-tech black finish, and is constructed of high-quality medium density fiberboard. Corners are rounded for reduced diffraction. Other optional colors are available.
