With built-in 2 x 50-watt Class D amplification, the Spectrum II X5 BT provides powerful and controlled performance straight out of the box. Its compact footprint makes it easy to integrate into living rooms, home offices, bedrooms, or dedicated listening spaces, while its refined aesthetic complements both contemporary and traditional interiors.

Designed as a true all-in-one audio system, these speakers offer convenience, versatility, and impressive musical performance in a beautifully crafted package.

Dynamic Sound with Natural Musicality

At the heart of the Spectrum II X5 BT is a carefully engineered two-way bass reflex design that delivers engaging and balanced sound across a wide range of music genres. A 130mm mid-bass driver featuring a lightweight cellulose pulp cone works alongside a 25mm soft dome tweeter to produce a rich, detailed, and natural presentation.

Vocals are clear and expressive, instruments are rendered with excellent texture, and high frequencies remain smooth and refined without harshness. The bass response is tight and controlled, providing satisfying depth while maintaining accuracy throughout the frequency range.

With a sensitivity of 88dB and a frequency response extending from 60Hz to 20kHz, the Spectrum II X5 BT offers a lively and enjoyable listening experience that remains faithful to the original recording.

Comprehensive Connectivity for Modern Listening

Designed to serve as the hub of a modern audio system, the Tangent Spectrum II X5 BT offers an extensive range of analogue and digital connections. Bluetooth 5.3 with AptX HD support enables high-quality wireless streaming from smartphones, tablets, and computers, delivering near-CD-quality sound without the need for cables.

Vinyl enthusiasts can connect a turntable directly via the built-in MM phono input, eliminating the need for an external phono stage. Additional connections include RCA line inputs, optical and coaxial digital inputs, and a Hi-Res USB Audio connection for computer playback.

This impressive selection of inputs ensures compatibility with virtually any source component, making the Spectrum II X5 BT a versatile solution for music, movies, gaming, and everyday entertainment.

Perfect for TV and Home Entertainment

The inclusion of HDMI ARC connectivity makes the Tangent Spectrum II X5 BT an ideal upgrade for television audio. By connecting directly to a compatible TV through a single HDMI cable, users can enjoy dramatically improved sound quality for films, sports, gaming, and streaming services.

Dialogue becomes clearer, soundtracks gain greater scale and impact, and overall immersion is significantly enhanced compared to standard television speakers. For those seeking even deeper bass performance, a dedicated subwoofer output allows the addition of an active subwoofer, extending low-frequency response and creating a more cinematic listening experience.

Whether used as a premium stereo music system or as part of a versatile home entertainment setup, the Spectrum II X5 BT delivers impressive performance and flexibility.

Tailor the Sound to Your Preferences

The Spectrum II X5 BT gives listeners the freedom to fine-tune performance according to their room, source material, and personal tastes. Adjustable bass controls offer settings from -6dB to +6dB, while treble can be modified across the same range for greater tonal flexibility.

Midrange adjustment is also available, allowing users to boost or reduce vocal presence and overall balance. These customisation options help optimise the sound for different listening environments and music styles, ensuring consistently satisfying results.

An included infrared remote control provides convenient access to volume, source selection, and sound settings from the comfort of your listening position. Automatic standby functionality further enhances convenience by reducing power consumption when the speakers are not in use.

Elegant Scandinavian Design and Everyday Practicality

True to Tangent’s design heritage, the Spectrum II X5 BT combines minimalist aesthetics with exceptional practicality. Available in sophisticated satin black or white finishes, the speakers feature clean lines and understated styling that blend effortlessly into modern living spaces.

Despite their compact dimensions of just 166 x 322 x 205mm, the cabinets provide sufficient internal volume to support powerful and controlled sound reproduction. The active speaker weighs 5.1kg, while the passive partner speaker weighs 4.3kg, ensuring a solid and stable construction.

Every aspect of the design has been carefully considered to balance performance, usability, and visual appeal. The result is a stylish and versatile active speaker system that brings high-quality audio, extensive connectivity, and effortless operation together in one elegant package.
