Smart tweeter technology
While looks do impress, one of Reflection Series’ unique features is actually
“under the hood.” Our new EWB (Extended Wide Bandwidth) tweeter borrows
the same performance attributes found in our flagship VS line—stabilized linear
motion, lower distortion, improved dispersion, power handling, and clarity. This
was accomplished by special central diaphragm termination (creating a dimple) and rear chamber venting.

Multi-composite woofer cones
All Reflection models incorporate our new Fiber Ceramic Copolymer Material (FCCM)
Woofer cones made from a composite of fiber and ceramic materials impregnated
in a proprietary copolymer. By combining these multi-composite cones with
Boston’s Deep Channel® Design, these woofers produce a smooth response
over the entire operating range. That means you get all the thunder of high-output
bass and all the subtleties and detail of the midrange—with minimal distortion.

Advanced cabinet design and driver configuration
While each speaker baffle features a smooth surface and invisible hardware,
the real secret behind Reflection’s Super Linear Plane (SLP) Baffles is their
unique ability to nearly eliminate acoustic diffraction. Super-shallow grilles using
an invisible magnetic attachment create an almost entirely seamless alignment
with the baffle plane to significantly reduce sonic barriers. The resulting sound is
equally pristine with the grilles on or off. Coupled with Reflection’s tightly spaced
driver placement, each speaker delivers near-point-source sonic coherence,

wide dispersion, and astonishing imaging.
