Duevel DUEPLANETS
Compact floorstanding speaker from Duevel, with omnidirectional dispersion thanks to reflective spheres, combining a woofer and a horn-loaded tweeter.
Description
The DuePlanets is a compact floorstanding speaker from Duevel, a manufacturer recognised for its range of omnidirectional dispersion speakers. Unlike speakers with a conventional forward-facing horn, it disperses sound in all directions thanks to reflective spheres placed at the top of the cabinet, a technical signature specific to the brand.
The cabinet houses a 5-inch woofer paired with a 1-inch horn-loaded tweeter, both driven by a passive crossover designed to remain simple while ensuring good coherence between the two drivers. The cabinet is of bass-reflex type, with a port located underneath the speaker and tuned specifically for this model, which contributes to bass extension despite the compact format.
This type of omnidirectional dispersion is aimed at a listener seeking a diffuse, enveloping soundstage rather than a tightly localised frontal sound stage. The reduced size of the floorstanding cabinet allows integration into rooms where a bulky speaker would be difficult to place, while aiming for ambitious musical reproduction for such a compact format.
What to check before buying used
The reflective spheres at the top of the cabinet are fragile and often scratched or chipped after poorly protected transport: check their surface condition and secure fitting. Also check the bass-reflex port located underneath the speaker, which may be dirty or slightly misaligned, as well as the condition of the veneer or finish of the compact cabinet. Finally, listen to the horn-loaded tweeter and the 5-inch woofer at moderate volume to detect any crackling or a worn suspension.
