Being powerful and detailed can be problematic for some speakers but not the D 6LCR. For instance, it can easily reproduce an F-14 jet taking off at levels that ought to require ear protection. At the same time, though, it delivers the sort of detail reproduction that makes it still possible to hear Tom Cruise asking permission for a fly-by. This is due to the speaker’s unique 5-driver construction, with a 6½in woofer placed on each side of the vertical array of midranges and tweeter.

The side-by-side units in a D 6LCR also enhances the sound perception when watching movies. It is always important to minimize the distance between the speaker and the screen, and with a design like D 6 LCR there’s never any doubt that the dialogue and the effects originate from the screen itself.

The flat horizontal design (only 15cm/6in deep) makes it very easy to integrate a real high-performance cinema system into a living room.
