You Can Bank On

With the exception of

price, there’s nothing moder-

ate about our new Performance

Series speakers. Five new models fill in

the gap for customers who want to replace

their factory speakers but won’t go beyond a

hundred bucks.

TheKFC-1682ie,KFC-1382ieandKFC-1082ieareseriouslytight3-way

speakers. Listen to them and you’ll notice higher performance than

any speaker in this price range. Secret ingredients include fiber texture

polypropylene cones that are stronger and lighter than conventional dia-

phragms and produce smoother and more natural-sounding mid-bass

response. The Performance Series speakers also include our third-gen-

erationImageEnhancertweetertechnology(IE-3)withwidermidand

high-frequency dispersion for better imaging and soundstage.

The KFC-6972ie and KFC-6982ie are

5-way and 4-way 6 x 9s that will blow

the socks off other speakers in their

price range.
