The DBX Soundfield 1a is a large, impressive, omnidirectional speaker system. Each speaker enclosure houses 14 drivers. 4 10in. woofers; 4 5in. mids; and 6 tweeters. The frequency response is 20-20khz and the sensitivity is rated at 90. The soundstage is enormous. The cabinets have drivers firing in every direction and play very loudly at all frequencies.
They are no longer being made but can be purchased used at a substantial discount to their original cost of $3000. I highly recommend them to anyone who likes the omnidirectional sound qualities of the various Bose speakers but desire a wider response than they typically deliver.

These are substantial speakers weighing in at over 90lbs. each. Standing over 45 inches tall and have a 17 inch square footprint. If you have space for them you would be hard pressed to beat their performance at the price (typically found used for under $1000).

The omni-directional soundstage produced by the Soundfield 1 speaker is the best I've experienced.
In 1985 when I purchased these speakers, my intent was to set up a home theater, and have these
speakers produce the soundstage. I haven't been disapointed in the least.

Finding a matching 3rd speaker for the front center channel on newer equipment
has been a challange.

The soundfield 1a speaker system has got to be the best set of speakers ever produced. These speakers will stand up to anything made.

I tried a pair of Klipsch corner horns first, then later some electrostatic
Magniplaners and Infinity brands... but keep returning to the accuracy of the Soundfields.
Put them behind a high current amp (Carver silver sevens are what I use) and you can't go wrong.
