A full, rich, natural sound. Tight, extended lows. Well integrated mids, and a clean, crisp but sweet high end. That's what we were working for, and we believe The ERT-8.3 Tower delivers all these things...and more.

Dual 5.25" woofers and a 25mm silk dome tweeter sit atop a second, completely enclosed bottom chamber loaded with two 8" woofers and a painstakingly crafted crossover.

Co-designed with famed speaker guru Vance Dickason, author of the 'The Loudspeaker Design Cookbook', these beauties are the the proud flagship of the Emotiva speaker family.
