The AW-25i speaker is based on the popular AW-6i model and is its big brother standing on the floor. It uses the same elements as the "little brother," but there are two bass midranges instead of one. One of its design goals was to make a good floor-standing speaker that is also suitable for smaller rooms or apartment building use when needed.
Speaker bass midrange Peerless magnetically shielded model 830903. Robust but affordable element. The subwoofers are connected in series, giving the same sensitivity as the AW-6i, but with twice the power endurance. The upper element and treble are housed in a case similar in size and construction to the AW-6 speaker. The housing is divided in half by a spacer and the lower element is in a larger volume. The tuning of the lower element is also lower, so due to the larger volume and lower tuning, it is mainly responsible for reproducing the lowest sounds. In the filter, the playback of the lower element is limited and it does not play as high as the upper of the bass. The crossover frequencies are the same as with the AW-6 speaker. The tweeter is the same, Seas 19TAFD / G, as the AW-6i speaker. The direction of the treble is also similar. Thanks to the directional, the directional pattern in the crossover frequency range can be well matched with the bass midrange.
The housing is of the TransFlex type, ie it combines a reflex housing and a transmission line. The housing can be made of 15-22 millimeters of material, the front panel of 18 milliliters has a suitable material thickness. The material used is, for example, plywood, mdf, solid wood or soapstone. The interior material of the TranFlex enclosure is suitable for 6-10 millimeter plywood. The inner parts are glued to the housing, thus making the housing very strong and non-resonant. The housing is divided by a spacer into two parts, each with a reflex tube. The housing is filled with polyester cotton, compacting it completely. The first chamber behind the basses, where the element itself is left without filling. It is a good idea to place the filter in the chamber behind the treble
There are no abnormalities in the speaker measurement results. The response is almost similar to that of the AW-6i speaker. However, bass reproduction extends lower, to about 40 Hz. The level of the basses is such that the basses do not start to rubberize in an apartment building either. When listening, the speaker sounds very similar to the AW-6i. The bass reproduction is sturdy and extends slightly lower. There are no rebukes in the stereo, the players can be found in the right places. Treble reproduction is suitably bright and spacious. The AW-25i's bass reproduction works great even when used in an apartment building, sharpness and precision are found, and there is no tendency for rubberiness during playback. The AW-25 is a good speaker and is perfect for home theater as the main speaker for the AW-6 speaker. The sound is similar in both speakers up to phase playback.
