    • Brand: Definitive Technology
    • Model Number: SM55
  • Audio
    • Speaker Type: Bookshelf
    • Enclosure Type: Sealed
    • RMS Power: 225 watts (The maximum amount of continuous power the device is able to handle.)
    • Peak Power Handling: 225 watts (The maximum amount of power an electronic device, like a speaker, can handle without damage. This refers to short bursts of power, while root mean square (RMS) power handling indicates the amount of continuous power a device can sustain. Higher levels of distortion can also occur at peak power levels when the device is powered beyond its recommended usage.)
    • Impedance: 8 ohms (Describes the resistance of an electric signal throughout the system. Devices with low impedance require less power to deliver optimal signals but are more at risk for damage from overloading. Higher impedance requires more power but is more protected from overload damage.)
    • Minimum Frequency Response: 32 hertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The minimum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)
    • Maximum Frequency Response: 30 kilohertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The maximum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)
    • Sensitivity: 90 decibels
    • High Resolution Audio: true (Hear music the way musicians and sound technicians intended it to be heard. Products that support hi-res audio deliver audio signals with a dynamic range and bandwidth far greater than that of a standard CD so you'll be able to enjoy pure music with outstanding sound quality. The device supports high-resolution audio signals, which more closely resemble the quality of music as it was originally recorded, with more texture and detail than can be heard via typical music streaming services or CDs.)

    • 1" aluminum dome tweeter: Provides smooth, extended highs.
    • 6-1/2" cast-aluminum basket woofer: Delivers a lush soundscape. The Linear Response Waveguide smoothes off-axis frequencies and evenly distributes crystal-clear sound throughout the room.
    • Top-mounted 6" x 10" racetrack bass radiator: Extends and amplifies bass frequencies for powerful sound.
    • Balanced Double Surround System (BDSS) technology: Supports the speaker cone at the inner and outer edges to allow more linear excursion for improved clarity and sound detail.
    • High-gloss, contoured baffle: Along with a tapered enclosure minimizes diffraction distortion for enhanced sound quality.
    • Integrated Zobel network: Helps flatten the impedance to promote powerful audio with limited distortion. Mylar capacitors ensure optimal linear phase and frequency response.
    • Bi-amp, bi-wire, all-metal 5-way binding post terminals: Provide easy, reliable connections.
    • SM enclosure: With internal MDF cross braces offers durability without compromising the sound.
    • 32Hz - 30kHz frequency response: For faithful sound reproduction.
    • 90dB sensitivity: For powerful sound.

    Q: Thinking about using these as fronts and pro monitor 1000 as rears with a procenter 2000 as center. You guys think It'll be a good set up?

    A: My promonitors 1000 are now in my rears and surrounds. The sound is incredible. Pushing it with a Marantz 7011.

    Q: Can this speakers be laid on their side, horizontally?

    A: I wouldn't but don't see why you couldn't. Just make sure the bass radiator on top has an open space to function properly.
