$250 for the set
MB Quart's Premium component speakers are deceiving at first look. There's none of the heft associated with many high-end speakers, weighted down by heavy cast-metal baskets and large magnets. Instead, the PCE 216 have baskets made from an innovative polyamide ABS composite material reinforced with short glass fibers. The result is a light, but vibration-resistant platform for the woofer. Mounted in the basket is a rather plain-looking polypropylene cone with a titanium wet-powder coating. Benefit? The woofer has an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. The payoff is a speaker that was markedly more efficient than any other model. A 1" titanium dome tweeter covers the highs. Specs-wise, the PCE216 comes on strong with an RMS power rating of 130 watts, and a frequency response of 38 to 32,000 Hz. The external crosssovers have a 12 dB/octave slope, crossed over at 2500 Hz, with tweeter level settings of -6 dB, -4.5 dB, -3 dB, -1.5 dB, and 0 dB.
