Helix PR W165 – 6.5″ premium woofer
The HELIX PR W165 is a 165 mm (6.5″) woofer from the PURE R-series, the top tier of the HELIX PURE speakers aimed at demanding audiophiles. Audiotec Fischer presents it as the top woofer in the PURE lineup, delivering bass that can be felt as well as heard, together with a balanced midrange.
Its stiff mica-paper composite cone provides punchy bass, while a very powerful magnet system and a rigid, flow-optimized die-cast aluminum basket support fast and precise impulse response. Additional ventilation holes in the basket improve cooling of the voice coil and therefore power handling. Discreet HELIX grilles are included to protect the cones.
