Overview
Satori Ara TeXtreme 2-Way Speaker Kit - Pair w/ Cabinets
Satori Ara TeXtreme 2-Way Speaker Kit - Pair w/ Cabinets
The ARA TX features the top of the line TeXtreme® midwoofer SATORI MW16TX-4 and pairs it with the TeXtreme® tweeter SATORI TW29TXN-8 for a visually and acoustically stunning match.
Compared to the ARA and ARA Be the crossover topology is realised differently on the ARA TX. In the low frequency section there is only one single component directly in series with the signal path to the 6½” SATORI MW16TX-4. This series inductor is followed by a number of parallel LCR-networks to further shape the response and for break up control as well as perfect integration to the 29mm Textreme® tweeter and optimised tweeter network.
The result is very open and transparent sound that is both natural and very relaxed. The bass is deep and very convincing for a stand mount speaker.
The ARA’s faceted baffle is specially designed to reduce high frequency diffraction and yields superb imaging qualities. The 7° reclined cabinet ensures good time alignment resulting in sublime staging and pin point placement of instruments.
When purchasing the complete kit, you are provided with everything needed to assemble a stereo pair of speakers. The cabinet is fully assembled with a premium finish. All port tubes, damping material, internal wire, binding posts, quick connects, and mounting hardware are included. Magnetic grill covers for the drivers are also provided.
You will need a screwdriver/drill and wire stripper/crimper to complete assembly. Soldering the internal speaker wire to the drivers, crossovers, and binding posts is not required but you may choose to do so.
Price shown includes a 10% discount on all drivers.
High gloss orange or red cabinets are available by special order. Lead time is about 4 months.

Each Ara TX Kit Purchase Includes:
Each crossover is professionally assembled by Madisound on our silver tinned inlaid OFC copper circuit boards.
The series tweeter circuit utilizes ClarityCap PUR capacitor and Mundorf CopperConnect resistors. The midwoofer section uses a Goertz Copper Foil 14awg inductor. Upgrade and cost saving options are available from the drop down menu.
The woofer board mounts on the floor of the cabinet, and the tweeter board to a side wall. Super strong double stick tape is adhered to each crossover board. You'll need to run two sets of wire from the binding posts, one set to each crossover board. Or, run speaker wire jumpers from the input of one board to the input of the other.
Please note that the manufacturers kit instructions (online and included with the cabinets) are for the original Ara, not the TX version with larger Madisound crossovers. You will need to run wire to and from the Ara TX crossovers. Crossovers hookup sheets and all the wire/hardware required for the project are included. Email or call us if you need assistance along the way.
Available for separate purchase from the drop down menu.
