Efficient, Dynamic Sound with BLAM Relax 6x9" Speakers
The BLAM 690 RC Relax is a 2-way coaxial 6x9 speaker kit built for clear, lively sound. Each speaker pairs a 152 x 229 mm (6" x 9") woofer with a 25 mm (1") soft dome tweeter driven by a neodymium magnet motor, and the crossovers are built in, so there are no separate parts to mount.
High efficiency is the main strength here. With a sensitivity of 93 dB and a maximum power rating of 150 watts, these speakers play loud and clean without demanding a lot of power. The frequency response runs from 55 Hz to 28 kHz, covering everything from solid low end to airy highs. Built-in 6 dB/octave filters handle the crossover between the woofer and tweeter.

BLAM (Bonneville Laboratory And More) is a French Audio company started by Audiophile Guy Bonneville. Guy was the head of Focal's car audio division, and when the company was bought out he started BLAM as a passion project. BLAM stands out from other speaker manufacturers by promising the best audio experience possible through the concept of "The French Sound".
If that throws you off, we can explain. You are already aware that different music genres have distinct dynamic ranges.
Rock and Hip-Hop typically have louder lower frequencies while Jazz and Folk Music cater to louder higher frequencies.
When High fidelity speakers came about in the late 1960's each region was designing loudspeakers best suited to producing the dynamic ranges of their music.
The French valued crystal clear vocals and the emotions it created rather than melody, hence their loudspeakers were focused on recreating high-quality medium frequencies.
In short, "The French Sound" delivers a warm, pure, and elegant sound by bringing forward the medium frequencies.
Your music will sound closer to natural without the added emphasis on bass or treble that can distort the way your music was meant to be heard.
If that doesn't impress you then you can rest assured the sound quality and build quality of BLAM speakers will! These speakers are excellent! Compare them side-by-side against any similarly specd speaker and you'll likely notice the BLAM magnets are burlier and heavier. All BLAM speakers are made with high efficiency 2 Ohm voice coils (lower resistance = greater electrical signal).
Since amplifiers will put out 1.5x-2x more power at 2 ohms than they do at 4 ohms, with BLAM's your music will simply sound clearer while louder.
