A small, real surround speaker — coherent in the midrange, dependent on a subwoofer, and honest about being a satellite. Key figures: Passive pair · full-range driver stated · compact cabinet · wall mounting · for 5.1 surround or office. It is a European model with no Amazon.com offer on October 25, 2026. Our score: 7.8/10, specification-checked.
What a satellite speaker is
A speaker designed to reproduce everything above a crossover point and nothing below it, on the understanding that a subwoofer handles the rest. These are that, explicitly, and the design only works as part of that arrangement.
The full-range driver
One driver, no crossover. The advantage is coherence through the midrange, where a crossover in a two-way design sits. The limit is at both extremes — deep bass and the top octave — and in a rear channel that matters much less than it would at the front.
What you must set in the receiver
The surround channels to “small”, and the crossover high enough that the subwoofer takes over where these stop. Left at “large”, the receiver asks them for bass they cannot produce and the result is thin and distorted.
The size argument
The cabinet is compact. For a rear speaker on a wall in a living room, size is frequently the deciding factor — and a speaker that gets installed beats a better one that does not.
What is not published
Sensitivity, impedance, frequency response. As with almost every speaker here except the Canton.
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.
On this shelf, with an Amazon.com offer on October 25, 2026:
A single full-range driver has no crossover, so there is nothing to blur the midrange
A compact cabinet, which is often the deciding factor for a rear speaker
Passive, so any receiver drives it
Compromises
A full-range driver in a tiny cabinet cannot produce low frequencies — this needs a subwoofer, not optionally
No sensitivity, impedance or frequency response published
Sold for surround and office use, which are different jobs

What gets asked most
What is a full-range driver?
One driver covering the whole audible band rather than splitting it between a woofer and a tweeter. Its advantage is no crossover in the midrange, which is where the ear is most sensitive. Its limit is the extremes: a small full-range driver produces neither deep bass nor the top octave.
Do I need a subwoofer with these?
Yes, and not as a refinement. A cabinet this small produces almost nothing below a few hundred hertz, so the receiver has to be set to "small" for these channels and everything below the crossover handed to a subwoofer. Without one, the rear channels will simply be thin.
Our score
7.8/ 10
A small, real surround speaker — coherent in the midrange, dependent on a subwoofer, and honest about being a satellite.
Who should pick this one, among surround speakers
Rear channels in a system that already has a subwoofer and a receiver with a properly set crossover.
