New Chane A4.5 surround speaker

[Magic815]

Please see the stock dates post elsewhere in the forum. Ocean passage continues to be fairly sporadic.

Ah, didn't realize the stock dates post was edited recently! Is there a way to see when a post was last edited on this forum? I thought I was subscribed to it, but didn't see a notification. Maybe it only notifies if a reply is posted to the thread? If that's the case, you may want to post a reply saying "Original post last edited X/X/XXXX" if/when you ever modify the contents of it, so that it helps ping people who are subscribed to the thread. Just a thought!

Is there a need to make a reservation for A4.5?

No, I don't think so. We have a lot coming.

Good news: The restock should begin in about 30 days. We'll probably send a newsletter this weekend and open the store for the three models next week or so!

Awesome. thanks.
You got new pictures to share? On the ones posted before the wedge was not very visible.

This is actually great news!
My wife crushed my dreams of upgrading to the L series anytime soon, so I'm going to max out my A series setup as much as possible instead. I'm really looking forward to adding these A4.5's and the A6.5 to the mix.

Hahaha, right there with ya buddy. At least I will be able to get an A series setup once it comes back in stock.

A4.5 rear view, woofer-down orientation for use on a surface. Four small holes are threaded steel inserts on standard VESA pattern. (Keyholes come installed for inverting the speaker woofer end up but can be user-flipped):

A4.5 measures 260mm tall, 220mm at the base, 150mm at the top, and 180mm wide. A4.5 uses the Chane planar tweeter and a standard 5.25" midwoofer. Speaker designed to operate above 80Hz onwall.

Simulated black ash finish matches A Series models. Grille also matches. Input cup flush-mounted.

Grilles may be inverted to re-orient the Chane badge. Speaker ships with four round soft stick-on bumpers for user to apply as desired.

Looking good! So just to get the dumb question out of the way: if I will be wall-mounting these as surrounds in a 5.1 setup, they should be in the woofer-up (inverted) position, correct? My surround locations are ~1.5 - 2 ft above ear level, so I imagine I'd want the front grill to be angled downward toward the listeners. Looking forward to these!

It's just the way I pictured them from your previous descriptions! Thank you so much, Jon! I'm looking forward to mounting these as front elevation speakers so I can start playing with the Auro 3D processing in my receiver.
