Duevel Planets

The stunning new "entry level" loudspeaker from Duevel! Call it a load of b***s if you will (just had to slip that one in), but these are serious speakers (we wouldn't be selling any other type now, would we?) worthy of your hard earned cash!

I suspect Duevel thought long and hard (probably wrong there too, it may have been sketched on the back of a cigarette packet after a night out watching a sci-fi film!!) about how to bring their rather unique omni-directional concept down to a sensible price, whilst at the same time producing a speaker which would provide a proud owner a talking point at dinner parties for years to come.

Whatever, or whichever, these really are very nice speakers which give the spacious, open, soundstage we have become used to from Duevel, and a lively sound which doesn't hide even the finest details. To give you some idea of scale, overall height to the top of the suspension pillars is 81cm, and the boxes are 26cm wide by 15.7cm deep, so these are very compact floorstanders. Other important specs are 85db sensitivity, 50W RMS power handling, and a nominal 4 Ohms impedance.
