Higher levels of distortion can also occur at peak power levels when the device is powered beyond its recommended usage.)

- Minimum Frequency Response: 50 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.)

- 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.)

Q: What is a 2-way speaker? What is a passive speaker?
A: One speaker for high frequencies and one speaker for mid and low frequencies. A passive speaker is not self-powered. You must connect them to an amplifier with speaker wires to power them.
A: There is a single hole in the back at the top of the speaker. It's a fairly heavy speaker though. Use a good screw and one of those expansion things (sorry, don't know what that thing is called) that you stick in the wall then drive your screw into that. Hope this helps James N. Merry Christmas
A: I'm using these as rear surround speakers. Im sure you can use them as front speakers too. These are a little big. Maybe the Polk S10 for rear surround and The S15's for front or maybe tge S20's for fronts.
Q: Can I connect bare speaker wire into the back of these? I have an old receiver.
A: Yes and it did do the job for me. Very simple button mechanism to hold the wire. Don't waste money or time buying jacks or anything. Wire, speaker and receiver all you need!
A: Either one would work great for rear surround speakers. Personally, I would opt for the S15s.
Q: Are these speakers dipole (for surround sound system)? Are the stands available as well?
A: No and no.
A: Yes. This price is per pair. The title is definitely misleading. It even confused multiple store personnel. To top it off, the box itself only has a picture of a single speaker. Before I purchased these tonight after some debate we eventually opened the box which revealed it has two speakers in it.
A: You may have your bass set too high. Try lowering your bass and raising your treble settingz.
