<h3>Compact perfection</h3>
<p>Rio brings impeccable musicality to medium-size and small rooms. Recent advances in our Q-Stone™ enclosure technology have reduced our labor, making Rio more affordable -- and very compact, indeed! As in our other speakers, Rio's time-coherent technology allows you to listen for hours on end, with no concern for a recording's quality -- all you hear and feel is the performance. With its Balanced-Phase™ crossover circuit, Rio delivers any music at any loudness, with a full bass response far greater than anyone expects from such a small size!</p><p><br /></p>
