The WS-60 speaker utilizes a unique multi-transducer arrangement that provides numerous advantages over traditional designs. Firstly, the multiple woofers provide higher power handling and output levels providing excellent bass response and dynamics, an absolute must in a digital home theater environment. Secondly, the four passive radiators extend the bass response even lower than what would normally be possible with traditional enclosures whose venting results in more noise than is acceptable in a high resolution home theater system. The included wall mounting bracket serves in both horizontal and vertical alignments, and also serves as a small footprint base. The WS-60 also comes with an attached round table top base for use on your mantle, A/V furniture, or on any flat surface.

Customer Rating: Summary: ATHENA WS-60 SPEAKERS Comment: I have been into hi-fi audio for the last 35 years. You should know that most of those highly priced speakers on the market are unnecessary in order to listen to accurate reproduction of the recorded music people listen to.
The Athena WS-60 is a well made, good sounding front or center speaker. These speakers may be the best sounding on the market at $99 per speaker.
They can be put on a table or wall mounted and look great with the new HD LCD televisions. After a couple of days of breaking them in they sound great. Get yourself a good 10" subwoofer for the low end and you have one of the best sounding systems around for a reasonable cost. Athena also makes the WS-100 which is the floor standing version and a WS-15 for surround sound.
I bought two WS-60 speakers and a set of WS-15 speakers. Went through the Amazon website for security purposes. The seller is Audio Advisor. Arrived in perfect condition and they sound great !
