5 Open (Pair) with crossover
The Five Open Baffle Speaker is one of the most natural and musical loudspeakers available today. Winner of the Audio Key Review's highest honor, the Diamond Award, the Five Open draws accolades (and long lines) whenever we demonstrate it at audio shows. The impressive performance includes the noticeable differentiation and the dynamics of each bass note. The dynamics and depth are impressive and known hallmarks of the paper cone woofers. Equipped with an 18” sub-bass driver and a 15” upper woofer driver, the duo produces an uncanny bass realism unmatched by any box speaker design.
Brilliant Design
The definitive shape of the speaker, the solid bamboo 3-ply laminate finish, the full range driver with high and low frequency support all reflect Tri-Art’s commitment to creating a superb, natural sounding loudspeaker. A design that intentionally does not sound like a conventional Hi Fi speaker. The 5 Open with its impressive soundstage, depth, spectacular imaging and articulate, accurate bass, will most certainly redefine your perception of how real music can be presented from an audio speaker.

Powerful Crossover
Our external crossover controls the bass support to our single full range driver. When utilized the high pass filter is 50hz first order (6db slope) and the upper bass driver high pass filter is 100hz first order (6db slope).
The crossover has an attenuator to blend the upper frequencies with the room influenced bass. In this way, the open baffle design can better interact with your room acoustics and enhance the natural sound of the full range driver. Blending the upper frequencies with the bass drivers, allows the listener to match the speakers to any listening environment.

Equipped with an 18” sub-bass driver and a 15” upper woofer driver, the duo produces an uncanny bass realism unmatched by any box speaker design.
The speaker design is a Full-Range Driver with an Alnico magnet that is supported by the bass drivers for the low frequencies and the soft dome tweeter and super tweeter for mid to high frequencies. The full-range driver minimizes phase distortion found in even the best of the traditional midrange drivers. The ‘Five’ opens a window of clarity, portraying a vivid image of vocalists, the unmistakable depth and width of the soundstage, and the space between instruments. There is a clarity that is rarely found at this price level. The 5 Open also features a super tweeter, whose contributions to room conditioning, bass, and soundstage size are surprisingly formidable.
The 5 Open’s External Crossover features a volume control permitting the user to match the Mid and Upper Frequencies to the bass for each speaker. The user can blend them accurately to the bass volume, ensuring a cohesive and synergistic match between the drivers. Moreover, it creates a specific sonic relationship within the room boundaries. In other words, the room walls become its speaker cabinet.
The Baffle is akin to fine furniture, with smooth lines without fastening screws. We utilize solid-core pure copper wire intricately woven within the bamboo rear support. The 5 Open is truly a work of Art and represents one of the true values of audio today.
