RockTower 68B Pair

Set up left and right channels for music or home theater with a pair of black wood-grain tower speakers. Each Rockville RockTower 68B combines two 6.5-inch woofers, a dedicated 6.5-inch midrange driver and a 1-inch silk dome tweeter, giving bass, vocals and high frequencies their own drivers.

Each passive speaker handles 125 watts RMS and 500 watts peak at 8 ohms. Connect the pair to a compatible external amplifier or receiver; amplification is not built in. An internal 3-way crossover divides the signal among the drivers, while the vented MDF enclosure supports low-frequency output.

Gold-plated 5-way binding posts accept banana plugs, spade terminals or bare wire, so you can choose the connection that works with your speaker cables. Each woofer has a 15-ounce magnet, 1.25-inch voice coil, rubber surround and stiff polypropylene dust cap. The separate midrange driver uses an 8-ounce magnet and 1-inch voice coil.

The black wood-grain vinyl finish and concealed bases keep the towers visually understated. Detachable grilles let you choose a covered or exposed-driver look. Each speaker measures 10.43 x 7.87 x 41.73 inches and weighs 26.2 pounds; check your floor space before deciding where to place the pair.

Amplifier Matching

Choose an amplifier or receiver compatible with an 8-ohm speaker on each channel and the 125-watt RMS power handling per speaker. Two 8-ohm speakers wired in parallel present a 4-ohm nominal load, so use that arrangement only with an amplifier that supports it. The 500-watt peak rating per speaker is not a continuous power rating.
