Aerial Acoustics Model LR5
Musically accurate and dynamically expressive, the Aerial Acoustics Model LR5 delivers remarkable performance for its relatively compact size. A reference monitor design, it remains uncolored and highly detailed at all listening levels with an astonishing degree of intelligibility and naturalness. Its midrange voice is vivid and lifelike, and upper frequencies are airy and extended. Bass is fast, articulate, authoritative, and blends particularly well with subwoofers. An honest tonal balance and superb dynamic capabilities serve to reproduce music and film soundtracks equally well.
Whether employed in a professional or home environment, the LR5 performs exceptionally as a stereo pair, or as front or surround loudspeakers in a multi-channel system. Useful Environment and Treble controls optimize the response of the LR5 to suit its surroundings, insuring correctly balanced sound regardless of room or position. It is at home on its purpose-designed stands, on sturdy shelves, mounted into a wall, or placed in custom cabinetry.
An optional floor stand is available (shown in photo).
