ASTOR SP-1602WST Bookshelf Speaker Pair

High efficiency with ample, rich expressiveness: Bookshelf speaker

ASTORFrom this, the easy-to-handle mid-range bookshelf speaker SP-1602WST series was born. By combining delicate sound quality with high-quality components, this unit provides a truly satisfying music experience. Its balanced design delivers sufficient performance even in acoustically challenging environments and expresses clear sound even at low volumes.

High-efficiency design that brings out the potential of tube amplifiers

The unit uses a high-efficiency woofer from the professional Spanish speaker manufacturer Beyma. With a high sound pressure level of 100dB, it can comfortably reproduce the delicate expressions of a single low-output tube amplifier. The tweeter section uses an independent design, covering from 4kHz with a capacitor only. By not using any coils, it achieves high-speed, high-purity sound and, with accurate frequency separation, expresses natural, beautiful, and clear mid to high ranges. Multi-connection allows for even richer sound.

Enclosure design that balances resolution and resonance

The enclosure uses 20mm thick rubberwood laminated wood with hardness and density, achieving a balance of high-resolution and richly resonant acoustic characteristics. The bass-reflex port uses 5mm thick oxygen-free copper to eliminate unnecessary vibrations and achieve extended, rich low frequencies. Its outstanding naturalness and purity bring listening enjoyment, fully expressing the subtle nuances of human voices and instruments. Removing the back panel allows conversion to an open-back design.

Manufacturing quality that reproduces the subtle nuances of music

The materials and manufacturing quality of the speaker components are extremely important to reproduce the subtle nuances of music. With high-quality materials and precise manufacturing techniques, even familiar music can reveal new aspects and emotions, enriching everyday life.
