Introduction

Their ability to deliver clean unadulterated sound quality with plenty of bass makes them ideal for someone looking to assemble a cost effective home theater system that also does music equally well. You owe it to yourself to demo these at your local dealer or take a plunge online with the virtually identical EMP Ef30T offering at the Audioholics e-store.
