Drivers
Tweeter: The CS 226 uses a 1" Kortec soft dome tweeter for clear high frequencies. Kortec is a silky fabric saturated on the underside with a proprietary stiffening agent. Because the inside surface of the dome is ultra stiff, the tweeter tracks the signal with ease and produces an excellent transient attack. Simultaneously, the soft, self-dampening top layer eliminates unwanted resonance, so the sound is smooth and articulate.
Woofer: The CS 226 has two 6-1/2" graphite injected polymer woofers with phase plugs. The drivers feature Boston's Deep Channel Design technology to give you more bass with less amplifier power. Rubber surrounds are used for added durability. The enclosure is ported on the back panel.
MagnaGuard: The speaker features MagnaGuard magnetic shielding which ensures the speaker's magnetic field does not interfere with a CRT television's picture.
Connections
Gold-plated Binding Posts: The wire terminals are gold-plated, 5-way binding posts, allowing you to connect the speaker wire using dual banana plugs, single banana plugs, pin connectors, spade terminals, or bare wire. Bare wire up to 10 gauge fits through the binding posts.
Dimensions
Width: The speaker's overall width of 10.227 inches is measured at its widest point; the feet at the bottom. The width of the cabinet is 8.284 inches.

Got these to replace some 10 yr old speakers along with a Denon receiver. It has amazingly crisp sound and some of the detail on the Blu-Ray DVDs are great. Definitely looking forward to adding more components to the system. I've been happy with the range on the speakers as well.
