Air Tight AL05 Bonsai Speakers $2500 Per Pair:
(10 3/4h, 6 3/4w, 8 3/4d)
Bonsai is designed for the SERIOUS near field listener. That is, you have a den or small room where you want the utmost in quality, but don’t need ferocious SPLs. Bonsai is designed to be the ULTIMATE speaker for precise articulation and imaging. When you want to squeeze every drop of nuance out of your music in a “personal” space, Bonsai is ideal.
Bonsai is a four inch one way design with alnico magnets and NO crossover in the road. There are no additional drivers to blend!
Finished in a luscious high gloss rosewood finish, Bonsai is made for small rooms where you want the most intimate, detailed sound. We have many customers who listen as much or more in “room #2” than they do the big living room rig. Bonsai is the last word in unearthing musical nuance
in that tight space.
Bonsai is fast like a planar or stat. The presentation of vocals is pristine. Guitars can be heard with each pluck, tap or squeak. Hammer attacks on the piano are lifelike and dynamic.
If you don’t mind spending a few bucks on a GREAT small speaker that won’t have to play at thunderous volume, please audition Bonsai.

Its style matches the slight corner changes on the new NAD integrateds.
