Bigger sweet spot with Waveguide Tweeter
Punchy Bass that goes down to 42Hz
EQ & Custom Port Tuning for Room Matching
MTM Layout for Vocal Precision
Precision Crossover for Smooth Accurate Sound
Wall-Mountable
Specially adapted for the Spirit series, the 1" silk dome tweeter is seamlessly integrated with a precision waveguide. This design is fundamental to the tweeter’s performance, precisely shaping its dispersion pattern for a wide and remarkably even listening sweet spot. It increases efficiency, lowers distortion at high output levels, and enables a lower crossover point for smoother integration with the midrange.
Wide, consistent coverage
The waveguide minimizes reflections, expands the sweet spot, and ensures smooth integration with the midrange.
Clear, low-distortion detail
Delivers crystal-clear high frequencies with minimal distortion, even at high volumes, thanks to increased efficiency.
Advanced engineering and stability
A high-performance motor with ferrofluid cooling ensures reliable output, while the dome’s rigid, damped mount minimizes resonance and protects against damage.
The Spirit 8 uses two custom 6.5” mid/bass drivers in a D’Appolito (MTM) configuration. This symmetrical layout improves vocal clarity, widens dispersion, and reduces distortion which results in a punchy bass and detailed mids with dynamic impact.
Focused vocals and dialogue
The MTM layout sharpens vocal focus and manages dispersion to minimize distortion at high volumes. When used horizontally, it helps preserve dialogue clarity by reducing reflections and coloration from nearby surfaces.
Deep and Articulate Bass
The dual-driver design delivers strong bass performance down to 42 Hz.
Low-distortion response
The cone’s stiffness-to-weight ratio minimizes resonance and ensures piston-like control, even during dynamic peaks and high volumes.
Spirit 8 includes two user-tunable options to help adapt to room acoustics and placement.
Tweeter level adjustment
Fine-tune high-frequency response to match room acoustics or personal preference.
Bass reflex port tuning
Sealable ports allow for tailored low-frequency characteristics, offering flexibility for near-wall or in-cabinet placements.
The Spirit 8 uses a precisely tuned crossover for smooth, phase-coherent transitions. The waveguide and MTM layout support an optimal crossover point for controlled dispersion and natural integration.
Optimized integration
A 2500 Hz crossover with steep slopes -12 dB/octave for mid/bass and 24 dB/octave for the tweeter, ensures clean transitions for a consistent imaging and tonal balance across the listening area.
Optimized for Coherence
Ensures seamless, phase-coherent driver integration for a unified and immersive soundstage.
High-grade components
High-grade film capacitors and air-core inductors ensure great transparency and low distortion.
The Spirit 8’s substantial MDF cabinet is engineered for exceptional rigidity and acoustic inertness -providing a stable, resonance-free platform for the drivers to perform at their best.
Thick, rigid construction
25 mm baffle, 18 mm side panels, and internal bracing ensure low coloration.
Minimized resonance
A significant amount of strategically placed damping material absorbs internal standing waves, ensuring the Spirit 8 reproduces deep bass frequencies with precision and composure.
Premium finish
A perfectly applied multi-layer lacquer, available in matte black or matte white, gives the cabinet a timeless, furniture-grade appearance.
If you're looking to build a tonally matched surround system with the Spirit 8, you can use them as either center or front speakers—or opt for the Spirit 11 if you want deeper bass for music. For surround channels, consider the compact Spirit 4, the slimmer Spirit 6 if you want a wall-friendly alternative, or even the Spirit 2, which also performs well in this role. To complete the setup with deep, controlled bass, the Spirit SUB 12 is an excellent choice. You can learn more about configuring your ideal Spirit system on our dedicated comparison page.
