Onkyo

Our take on the Onkyo ABX-100

A welcome addition to home or office

"Elegantly simple" is how we'd describe the ABX-100 powered speaker system. Onkyo paid careful attention not only to the audio quality of this system, but also to its aesthetic appeal.

Onkyo ABX-100

Easy on the ears

The system features two 2-3/16" bass-reflex speakers that deliver warm, spacious sound. Each speaker is housed in its own cabinet, to prevent cross-interference. The ABX-100 also uses Onkyo's innovative Active Bass Control, which automatically increases the low-frequency range as you decrease the volume. You'll enjoy smooth, natural-sounding bass regardless of how loud — or soft — you play your music.


ABX-100

Pleasing to the eye

The ABX-100's sophisticated design makes it an attractive choice for your living room, den, office, or bedroom. The curved speaker cabinet rests on a brushed aluminum base. Ambient illumination on the underside can be adjusted to provide dramatic accent lighting or just a warm, subtle glow.

The system's dock and LCD display are recessed into the top of the ABX-100. When not in use, simply slide the brushed aluminum cover over them to present a clean, uncluttered surface.

  • compatible with docking iPods and iPhones
  • 10 watts x 2
