Full Description

Anti Resonance Technology

The Anti Resonance Technology Wedge is a fifth foot that is positioned underneath the center of the unit. This technology dampens vibrations that are commonly caused by power transformers, power transistors and heatsinks, as well as possible vibrations from the speaker. By removing the possibility of unwanted vibrations, the RXA550 ensures that sound quality is not affected.
