## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can someone plz explain to me in layman terms what the difference between 28-1 and 28-1L is?**
A: The 28-1 has a rotary 70V transformer with several tap values and an 8 ohm bypass built in.
The 28-1L is 8 ohms only.

**Q: Is this a pair or just one?**
A: Amazon lists four (4!) different speakers under one listing. You will absolutely have to determine which speaker you intend to buy. On this listing done are sold in pairs and some are sold in singles. The way the product selection is configured doesn't make it abundantly clear which speaker has option on pairs vs singles. Go on interwebs and check retail price from authorized seller like Sweetwater to determine if the price on Amazon is for a single or pairs

**Q: Is this sold as a pair? Its not stated anywhere. Thanks**
A: Yes they sell them as pairs

**Q: I have four of these installed at my home.  Each one runs directly back to an amp.  What is the recommended amp size in watts (per channel)?**
A: 175 W Continuous Program Power

*by M***A on 18 February 2024*

No built in transformer for 70 volt. It’s a Low volt. Wrong advertising by Amazon

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic outdoor speakers for a large area.
*by C***R on 5 May 2022*

These speakers are so impressive, I just love them. The 10" woofer is excellent at bass. Best 10 I have heard. They go so loud it is almost funny, we are in real private place so not a problem for us. Sound good and controlled at all volumes. I am driving them with a Sonos amp. 250 watts a channel into 4 ohms. The mount works very well. Build is at a very high level. On the negative side, they are BIG, I was shocked "oh my what have I done" but once installed not a problem. I did not need the 8 pound transformer in each one so I removed to make a bit lighter. (find on internet) On certain pieces of music I can hear a bit of "color" from the cabinet but it is not a big deal or problem. Just be sure you have space for these and a big area to fill sound with, also need good power I would say 250 watts minimum. I am happy with the Sonos as it allows me to control volume with my phone. Do not try to run these speakers off your receivers "B" Speaker, it does not have enough power. I tried.
