What you are getting
A passive two-way pair from Teufel’s fourth-generation Ultima range: a 6.5 in (165 mm) woven-Kevlar woofer with a phase plug, a 1 in (25 mm) tweeter in a waveguide, and a bass-reflex cabinet the maker rates for rooms up to about 270 sq ft (25 m²). Each speaker measures 8.5 in wide, 9.9 in deep and 13.2 in high (21.5 × 25.1 × 33.5 cm). The cabinet is FSC-certified wood with a satin lacquer front, fabric grilles and brass-plated binding posts, in white or black.
Why the range matters
Teufel also sells the Ultima Center Mk4 and the Ultima 40 Aktiv 3 floorstanders, both reviewed here. A system built inside one range shares its voicing across the front three, so a voice moving across the screen keeps the same tone. That, more than any single figure, is why you buy this pair.
Mounting
An M6 threaded insert in each cabinet takes a stand or a wall bracket, which is what a surround pair needs: wall-mounted slightly behind and above the seats.
What is not published
Sensitivity and impedance. The listing says the pair is efficient enough for any stereo amplifier or AV receiver, without the two numbers that would let you check. Its “frequency response 20000” is one figure, not a range.
Can you buy it in the US?
Not on Amazon.com. On October 25, 2026 the pair had no US offer, and neither did the rest of the Ultima range. It was on sale on Amazon in Germany, France and Italy. The passive pairs on this site with a live US offer that day include the Polk Monitor XT15 at $179 and the Polk T15 at $149.

Buying it in the United States
Not sold on Amazon.com when we checked on October 25, 2026. This is a model of the European catalog: we hold Amazon references for it in Europe only, so the button can only run a search on Amazon.com. Read it as a description of the design, and buy from the list below.

Compromises
Not sold on Amazon.com: no US offer on October 25, 2026, and none for the rest of the Ultima range either
No sensitivity or impedance published, the two figures that decide which amplifier it needs
The listing’s “frequency response 20000” is a single number, not a range

What gets asked most
Can I buy it in the United States?
Not on Amazon.com: on October 25, 2026 the listing had no US offer, and neither did the Ultima Center or the Ultima 40 floorstanders. It was sold on Amazon in Germany, France and Italy. For a passive bookshelf pair with a live US offer that day, the Polk Monitor XT15 was $179 and the Polk T15 $149.
Can I use these as surrounds?
Yes. The M6 threaded insert takes a wall bracket, and matching the front speakers matters more for surrounds than raw size. They match best if the front three are Ultima too, which is the reason to choose inside a range.
What amplifier does it need?
The listing calls it efficient and suitable for any stereo amplifier or AV receiver, but publishes neither sensitivity nor impedance. Without them, the safe assumption is a receiver that handles the usual 6 to 8 ohm loads.
