"Crystal Acoustics makes a credible debut with the TX-D12 speaker system. […] this provocatively engineered product delivers tweeter-on-top construction and tremble clarity for just $1,499. Who else can top that?"

"I felt unnerved, as the filmmaker intended"

"The tweeters in the front left, center, and right speakers ride in a separate aluminum housing on top of the enclosure. This design feature, rarely seen outside the pricey stuff, always has a major impact on sound".

"the sound proved to be engaging. It was great for indulging in my addiction to background music"

"The TX-FS’s unique status naturally drew my attention. Crystal has opted for a sealed enclosure and a lean approach to bass so that this speaker can sit close to the wall – and as near as possible to the surface of an LCD or plasma display"

Highlights

· Less costly than many THX-Certified speakers

· Designed to sit next to the wall, complementing a plasma or LCD panel

· Crystal Acoustics charges into the THX speaker market with a maverick design that’s affordable […]. Top-mount tweeters, usually found in more expensive speakers, are a major feature.
