For your information, Audison is one of the elite brands in the car audio market selling the Bit One DSP component. Recently, it upped the ante by offering a new speaker component which won the EISA award (European In Car Speaker System Award) for Best Product 2010-2011.

The Voce AV K6 specs are as follows:
- Tweeter AV 1.1 Frequency Response 1,200-2,200 Hz Sensitivity 92 dB: it allows for angle adjustment to suit installation and listening position.
- Woofer AV 6.5 Frequency Response 50-60,000 Hz Sensitivity 91 dB.
- Two-way Passive Crossover with cutting point at 2,500 Hz: it allows for +/- high-frequency sound adjustment at 2 dB.
- Power rating 125 watts RMS/250 watts peak.
The Audison speakers were installed into a Bass Reflex Enclosure for my listening test. First, I have to tell you these Audison speakers were fresh out of the box, and that means not burned-in yet; the sound quality was not 100% yet.
After an hour of listening, I started gauging the speakers' range of capabilities which began with the following:
First, sound stage was wide but lacked depth. Second, image allowed me to figure which musical instrument was playing, while the bass sound or low frequency signal had great impact besides the fact that vocals were a bit below par; it could be better after the speaker have been used for about 50 hours.
High frequency signals were exceptionally good; I could actually hear 3-4 layers of the high frequency sound.
Third and last, the position of each musical instrument and singer was pretty much on the dot in terms of the breadth and three-dimension aspects.
Listening to these speakers will not drain too much wattage, but you need to set up the speakers' position carefully. Again, you need to burn-in these speakers before you can actually enjoy their full potential.
If you look at this set of Audison Voce AV K6 speakers from a quality and price standpoint, I must say the competition out there is tough. In other words, you need to listen to other brands before making the final purchase decision.
