This strips vocals and stringed instruments of their warmth and body, resulting in thin, nasal\n    reproductions. Not Denton 85.

Asymmetrical cutouts within Denton's speaker grilles mitigate interference caused by\n    cabinet-edge reflections that create frequency irregularities, time smearing, and distortion - all issues associated\n    with traditional big box loudspeakers. So, not only do Denton's inset jersey knit speaker grilles maintain a low\n    visual profile, giving it a subtle contemporary touch, they also improve your listening experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.6em;\"\u003eSENSITIVE TO YOUR NEEDS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.6em;\"\u003eSome speakers demand mountains of power to come alive, pushing you into costly upgrades.\n    Not Denton 85.
