PACKAGING

 

The Eagle | Arion speakers are packaged in black colored box that has a combination of pale green and white letters to accent the the carton .  On the front of the carton it lists the maker and has a brief description and a catch phrase that states that the speakers are "small yet powerful'.  The carton also states that the speakers are rated at 30-watts peak  and below that it also lists the model number which is ET-AR502-BK. 

 

 

Now lets take a minute and talk about how speakers are rated.  High-end speaker and audio systems can be marked in one of two ways and that is not to say that there are not other ways to look at them but I am going to use the two most common.  Since music and even the spoken word is not a constant sound the peaks and valleys it creates are not constant. RMS (Root Mean Squared) watts are ones that can be listened to constantly. Peak watts as the speakers for this set of speakers are rated; can be listened to briefly.  In my personal opinion speakers rated by peak power are deceptive as the output is not even hear what they claim to be rated at.  If you look at some of the very expensive speaker whether they be Bose or JVC you will find that they are advertised with an RMS rating. 

 

Looking at the opposite side of the carton it identifies the important parts of the speakers showing such things as volume controls, bass control. It also points out the wood enclosures and the sub-woofer and the tweeter and mid-range speakers.

 

 

Looking at the ends of the carton you will see that one end has the complete specifications  for the speakers system including the subwoofer. In these specs you will see that it states the system is rated at a Total RMS Power of 15 Watts. To add to the confusion it states that the two small speakers are rated at 2.5-watts RMS each totaling 5-watts + the 5-watt RMS for the sub-woofer which equals a total of 10-watts RMS combined. The carton has the total wattage set to 30 watts peak which just adds to the confusion. 

 

 

The final pictures shows how well the package was sealed and protected form any damage that might occur during shipping of the speakers.
