- RMS Power: 150 watts (The maximum amount of continuous power the device is able to handle.)
- Peak Power Handling: 300 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: 6 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: 42 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: 22 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.)

Q: Do I have to plug these in to a power source?
A: Yes, these speakers each need to be plugged into a power source. I love these for music and for movies and placement was actually more forgiving than other speakers I have tried. The only weak point so far is voices during movies. They are ok. Most towers benefit from a center channel speaker and these are in that group. Musically though, these have air and space and clarity. These are keepers in my house.
Q: No you offer an extended warranty? Thanks
A: undefined
A: Thank you for your question and for your interest in our products. The speakers are sold each/individually so you will need to add 2 for a pair. The speakers should be in stock online but you will need to check with your local Best Buy if you want to check store availability. These are sold as new and the speakers come with a 5-year warranty. This will include open box if Best Buy has one available. The manufacturer date will depend on when the speaker was completed in the warehouse. We hope this helps and please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you for your support and we hope all is well.
Q: Will you ship an open box speaker to my local bestbuy
A: undefined
Q: The specs say this speaker say it is less than 12" tall. What is the true height?
A: Hello. Thank you for your question and we hope all is well. We apologize for the specs listed on the site. The overall specifications of the ElectroMotion ESL are listed below: Dimensions (HxWxD) 52.1” x 9” x 16.3” (132.3 x 22.9 x 41.4 cm) We hope this helps and please let us know if you have any other questions. We appreciate your support and hope you have a wonderful day.
A: This has always been confusing, at least for me. I running a Sony receiver at 100 watts per channel. Seldom exceeding 45 on the led. On the other hand I’ve had vintage amps running 30 to 40 watts per channel giving all the power I could ever need, without any stress. I’d say you’re fine with that “sweet” tube amp.
Q: Is this speaker on display in stereo room at Salinas or Marina CA locations to hear it in person?
A: Last I checked they did not have then on display at either location. You will most likely find then in a Bestbuy with a magnolia center.
Q: Anyone know how to alleviate the " big mouth " center fill?
A: undefined
