About the Rhea
The Alta Audio Rhea speakers are a two-way floorstanding loudspeaker system featuring a 7-inch woofer with a black anodized cone and a ribbon tweeter. They are designed to deliver a musical and engaging listening experience rather than a ruler-flat frequency response, with an emphasis on deep, powerful bass and detailed midrange clarity. The speakers are moderately sensitive (around 87.5 dB) and easy to drive, suitable for use with modest amplifiers from 50 to 150 watts per channel. They have a rear port design and use transmission line cabinet technology to enhance bass performance. The Rhea speakers are praised for their ability to fill rooms with a spacious soundstage and for their smooth integration of drivers, producing a coherent and immersive sound. They weigh approximately 40 pounds each and are considered a favorite among audiophiles who appreciate musicality and room-filling sound without the need for a subwoofer. The speakers
