Mordaunt-Short has built on the success of the Avant 900i range by introducing the 916i floorstander. The Avant 916i uses the latest generation of Mordaunt-Short’s respected CPC (Continuous Profile Cone) technology mid/bass drivers. These complement the loudspeaker's larger cabinet design to produce an incredibly detailed, expansive and authoritative sound which bridges the gap between two-channel and home cinema speakers. Indeed the 916i is incredibly flexible and can be integrated with the rest of the Avant i range to form the perfect home cinema system.

The Avant 916i uses the latest generation 6.5” CPC™ (Continuous Profile Cone) mid/bass drivers. These larger cones produce a greater radiating area and afford increased power handling for a commanding overall sound stage. The uninterrupted cone surface ensures excellent rigidity and therefore minimal distortion, something conventional drivers have trouble matching. The cones also encompass V-Form technologies, where the surround varies in thickness thereby aiding more accurate diaphragm termination, and allows the dish to operate incredibly freely, delivering huge benefits in timing and performance.

The hugely respected 25mm aluminium dome tweeter is a proprietary Mordaunt-Short design and delivers elevated dynamic accuracy and realistic resolution. The metal dome maintains its form at higher Sound Pressure Levels (SPLs) where soft dome variants tend to break down.

One of the most interesting aspects of the 916i is the isolate mounted crossover which is relatively unheard of at this price. The crossover is kept away from any interference and distortion to provide an inherently clean and expansive sound. Indeed, this further demonstrates Mordaunt-Short’s dedication to providing a sense of scale to movies and music.

Critically formed driver baskets ensure lower distortion by further strengthening the driver mounting to dramatically reduce mechanical flexure and thus improve dynamics. This kind of attention to detail is what gives Mordaunt-Short’s products their classic yet innovative sound.

Audiophile grade components including Dual Value Parallel (DVP) configurations are used throughout the design for best possible sound reproduction. DVP uses two different value capacitors to do the job of one for improved signal path and lower distortion while standard Avant 900i bullet terminals allow simple and effective connections.

The Avant 916i is internally partitioned and features its own reflex port for low end bass but also provides extremely detailed treble.

The Avant 916i's cabinet is strategically braced and key panels are strengthened while carefully selected wadding ensures a maximally controlled enclosure.
