Product Description
The new POINT 5 MK II System from Athena Technologies combines style, technology, and sound quality all in a small sized yet powerful entertainment system for your home.This award winning system comes complete with four identical S.5 speakers, and a C.5 center channel speaker. It's recommended to use a subwoofer with the Point 5 MK II (not included), either the AS-P300, or AS-P400. Both are designed to perfectly complement the Point 5 MK II, choose the one that's right for your room size. The black high gloss finish and silver baffles give the speakers a deceptively small appearance.The true power of Athena TECHNOLOGIES shines through with the SCT control on the AS-P300 or AS-P400 subwoofer. Simply adjust the SCT control and the front speakers are perfectly "blended" with the active subwoofer. This is the most difficult part of setting up subwoofer-satellite systems from competitor's models. Its difficult to know where to set the frequency control on the subwoofer, the Athena TECHNOLOGIES engineers has optimized the system for you. This ensures that whether you listen to music or movies the sound will be seamless from subwoofer to speaker, sounding like a full sized tower speaker at a fraction of the cost, and space in your room.For a complete compatibility list please refer to the original manufacturer's web site.
Amazon.com Product Description
The Point 5 Mk II multichannel home-theater speaker system from Athena Technologies packs eye-pleasing style, high technology, and great sound quality into a small but powerful system. This award-winning set consists of 4 identical Athena Technologies S.5 bookshelf/satellite speakers and a C.5 center-channel speaker, all designed to reproduce the 5 primary channels of a 5.1 DVD or HDTV surround signal: front left/right, rear left/right, and front center.

For the ".1" low-frequency effects channel, Athena recommends its AS-P300 or AS-P400, which are optimized for use with the S.5 speakers. Any powered subwoofer with a continuously variable crossover (low-pass filter) should be flexible enough for a successful pairing, however (it'll just take more listening and adjusting to find the right crossover setting).

All speakers use black, high-gloss finish with silver baffles designed to make them appear smaller than they really are. Each speaker uses a .5-inch Tetron-dome tweeter and 1 (in the satellites) or 2 (in the center speaker) 4-inch high-performance, injection-molded, polypropylene cone woofers. The speakers are rear-ported to enhance bas output, and they're magnetically shielded to prevent image distortion in your TV or computer monitor.

The S.5s offer flexible placement options, high power handling (20 to 100 watts RMS per channel), and massive sound. They're timbre matched for use with Athena's SCT series models or its Audition series speakers. The C.5 center-channel speaker's small size and dynamic output permit broad placement options with no sacrifice in sound quality.

The mounting brackets included with the S.5 speakers use one of the sturdiest and simplest designs available. The brackets require no special tools and allow flexible angles so you can place the speakers where you need to and aim the sound toward your seating positions.
