D-302E
2-Way, Bass Reflex Speaker
A Speaker System Driven by Sound-Enhancing Qualities for Fuller Sounding Audio
Showing the rewards of continuous improvement, the D-302E 2-way, bass reflex speakers incorporate Onkyo’s latest audio developments. Much like a Japanese work of art, the focus is on refinement that can be experienced through the senses. Even in their design - with a classical wood-finished MDF construction - these speakers are made to blend into the home, not dominate like some of today’s more poorly conceived audio components. Easily matched with components from Onkyo’s separate collection, these speakers will reveal noticeable nuance and color from your audio sources.
Optional speaker stands: AS-1E (B) Black

The little loudspeaker that overtakes the big ones
|

“Onkyo, one of the oldest Japanese specialists in the audio & speaker world, uses all of its energy along with the very best of its knowledge –dating back to 1946- to make sure they offer us a compact speaker which is nothing short of astonishing, certainly not a conception that we are used to seing. Its listening performances are outstanding.”
“These Onkyo D302 E have a fantastic set of qualities like we have never seen before for any other speaker of that category. The qualities which clearly stand out are an unusual sound articulation, a feeling of acceleration, of sound material and an incredible speed which gives guitar, piano or any other instrumental sounds that form an orchestra such an impressive relief along with a feeling of clarity which we are clearly not accustomed to.”
“Onkyo has done a masterful job, for a pricing which remains very reasonable for such quality”

„Top class: The world has been waiting for a shelf loudspeaker such as the D-302E. With its honest and natural playback it is perfectly compatible with high-quality stereo systems, which are probably more expensive than the other shelf loudspeakers from Onkyo. Its highly accurate level matches its detailed and fresh playback perfectly, and it is possible to hear every detail even when music is played at a higher volume. Furthermore the D-302E makes high level music a real adventure due to its long and clean bass. Its well-manufactured case and its timeless and simple elegance fits Onkyo’s brand image perfectly as the company is known as a supplier of durable and serious components with superior sound.”

ONKYO'S Micro Fiber (OMF), A-OMF & A-OMF Monocoque
|
|
|
OMF, made from a pure cotton weave to absorb vibrations, was first developed to create a thick yet rigid diaphragm that enables an extremely fast, accurate response. The next stage saw the advent of A-OMF, which incorporates a PEN (polyethylene naphthalate) layer with a flexible cotton weave that makes speaker cones even stronger and more resistant to heat. We then added an aramid layer to create NEW A-OMF. The evolution has been taken a step further with A-OMF Monocoque--essentially sharing the same material composition as A-OMF but forming a single, continuous cover over the cone. All diaphragm types achieve improved midrange clarity and imaging for an astonishingly vivid, natural sound.
