The Händel Compact is a small, slim transmissionline speaker with an upfiring port. It is suited for wall mounting or as a book-shelf speaker. The Händel Compact is a very versatile speaker, it can be used stand alone as the main speakers in a stereo system or as front or rear speakers in a home cinema setup. Due to the upfiring port it can be placed against a back wall, in which case the bass is quite rich and nuanced. Imaging from any speaker placed on the wall is not as three-dimensional as a free-standing speaker, but some prefer the sound like this. If the Compact is free standing, it may need a little equalizing to suite most peoples taste for bass.
