Driver Design: The 5″ HTB 126 woofer delivers solid bass for its size, while the 2.25″ HT 125 tweeter ensures crisp highs, contributing to a well-balanced soundstage suitable for small to medium rooms.
Crossover Network: The simple yet effective crossover at 3500 Hz uses minimal components (1 inductor, 2 capacitors, 1 resistor) to maintain signal purity and seamless driver integration.
Compact Enclosure: The 3.5-liter sealed cabinet minimizes resonance, enhancing clarity and accuracy, ideal for bookshelf or wall-mounted setups.
Build Quality: The Hi-Fi System 18 features Tandberg’s signature craftsmanship with premium wood finishes (teak, rosewood, or oak) and a distinctive front grille combining wooden slats and perforated metal for acoustic transparency and aesthetic appeal.
Performance: With a frequency range of 50 Hz–18 kHz, it offers clear vocals and detailed highs, though bass depth is limited due to the small woofer and enclosure size. Its 4-ohm impedance and 20 W power handling make it compatible with Tandberg’s amplifiers, like the Hi-Fi FM receiver, for a cohesive vintage setup.
