Passive, and meant for a stand rather than a desk · review
The compact member of the Ultima range, which also supplies the centre and the active floorstanders in this catalogue — matching is the argument.
The bottom line A range speaker rather than a standalone one: bought because the centre and the floorstanders in this catalogue are its siblings.
Teufel supplies the Ultima centre and the Ultima 40 active floorstanders elsewhere in this catalogue. A system built inside that range shares voicing across the front three, which is what makes a sound moving across the screen stay the same sound.
One driver covers the bass and the midrange, and a tweeter takes the top. That is what a compact speaker is, and the compromise is in the midrange where a three-way design would give voices their own driver.
Three revisions. A design that has been iterated has had its faults found, and while that is not a measurement it is a more meaningful signal than most of what listings contain.
Sensitivity, impedance, frequency response. As with almost everything on this shelf apart from the Magnat.
On stands at ear height, crossed over to a subwoofer. As surrounds, wall-mounted slightly behind and above the seating, and matched to the front by staying inside the range.
On sale at around 220 € on the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores at the time of checking.
Listed but with no offer on the American and British Amazon stores — the reference exists there and nobody is currently selling it.

Yes, and it is a common use for a compact passive speaker. What matters is that they match the front three — which they will if the front three are also Ultima, and which is the whole reason to choose within a range.
That the design has been revised three times. A range that has been iterated is one whose problems have been found, and it is a mild but real signal — more useful than a first-generation product with the same description.
Passive pair · compact · from the Reference range
A passive compact speaker from a house built on horn loading and high sensitivity — neither of which this listing states.
Best for: A Klipsch system, where the subwoofer and height modules from the same range are already in place.
≈ £302 / 278 €
2-way · 60 W RMS (120 W peak) · 4–8 Ω · 88 dB sensitivity · 110 mm woofer-mid, 13 mm tweeter
The only bookshelf speaker in this catalogue that publishes RMS power, impedance range AND sensitivity — the three figures that decide whether an amplifier suits it.
Best for: Anyone matching speakers to an amplifier on published figures rather than on brand.
≈ 135 €
Passive pair · 100 W · 8 Ω stated · full-range mini cube · for home cinema, stereo or office
The cheapest speaker in this catalogue: a full-range mini cube that publishes its impedance, which is the one figure that decides compatibility.
Best for: Rear or height channels in a system that already has a subwoofer, at the lowest possible cost.
≈ $40 / £31 / 25 €
