This all-new speaker design employed in the 8600e LR features internally braced non-resonant MDF cabinets housing seven new state-of-the art Atlantic Technology drivers configured in a D’Appolito/M-T-M array; four 8-inch fiberglass woofers, two 5.25-inch fiberglass mid-drivers, and an advanced 1-inch aluminum/magnesium dome tweeter with a powerful neodymium magnet structure. The midrange and tweeter drivers are internally isolated within their own airtight sub-enclosure. The cross-over is a 4^th order Butterworth asymmetrical time-aligned Linkwitz-Riley design with bi-wire inputs.

Completing its premium pedigree, the 8600e LR is available in two fine-furniture high-grade finishes. The cabinet’s side panels are in either a luxurious Gloss Black painted finish or high-gloss lacquered Makassar Ebony veneer finish.
