Coming in at a little less than many rivals, it showed a clean pair of heels to most. The Concept 50 follows the same engineering practises as the 30 with the same pairing of a 25mm soft dome tweeter and 125mm mid/bass driver. The key difference between the standmount and the floor-stander is that there are now two 125mm mid/bass drivers that run together in a 2.5-way configuration. The HF roll-off of the Concept 50 is unchanged from the 30 at 30kHz and the low-frequency drops to 42Hz at 6dB. Sensitivity climbs to a useful 90.5dB/W claimed figure, though, ensuring that the Concept 50 is easy to drive. The cabinet has a single rear bass port and a foam bung is supplied.
