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.
D6 Surround Speakers:
D 6LCR needs a rear-channel surround sound signal to really come into its own. Able to boast THX Ultra certification, it is constructed like a D 6LCR speaker but is a dipolar surround design. D 6SUR gives perfect timbral balance when the sound passes from front to rear channels. In a conventional dipole speaker you would experience poor bass reproduction due to the phase cancellation effect between the two woofers – we have solved this problem by having only one 6½in woofer mounted in the middle of the cabinet.
In a 6 or 7 channel setup you simply add one/two extra D 6SURs as surround back speakers.
The cabinets are crafted from MDF (Medium-Density Fibre) board, a heavy, resonance-damping material that prevents sound colouration.

D6 Subwoofer:
When buying a D 6 THX system comprised of the very compact yet highly performing D 6LCR and D 6SUR, it’s natural that you’ll have equally high aesthetic expectations when it comes to the matching subwoofer. The D 6SUB is a very compact subwoofer, sporting a 15in driver and powered by a beefy 400 watt amplifier. A 15in woofer can be very difficult to control sonically because of the movements of the big diaphragm which often results in an unwanted boomy bass. By adding a Motional Feedback circuit, however, we get a very accurate and dynamic sound.
