    The HDP6 is one of those rare music systems whose good looks actually help it sound even better. The sealed hand-crafted wood veneer enclosures absorb sound waves and reduce echo and reverberation for a more natural and balanced sound, without harsh or artificial tones. They're tough too. Our real wood veneer can withstand years of use and abuse, and it's less prone to scratches and dents than synthetic materials. Plus, we source our wood veneer from responsibly managed forests, harvested in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way. Sure, they'll look great on your shelf, but the HDP6 is much more than just a pretty face.

    Built by Hand with Your Music in Mind

    Any music system built using other people's parts, will sound like someone else's music system. At Audioengine, we don't rely on whatever's on the shelf or lying around the factory. We custom design, build, and hand tune everything that goes into our music systems. What we don't build ourselves, we have built to our exact specifications.

    Total control over every step of the process. It's what's helped us create high-end audio systems without the high-end price tag for over 15 years.

    HDP6 Benefits: A Humble Brag

    • Brings your music and movies to life
    • Modern and classic design complements any decor
    • Engineered by Audioengine, meticulously crafted by hand
    • Custom aramid fiber woofers and ferrofluid-cooled silk dome tweeters with neodymium magnets
    • Magnetically secured grill improves sound quality and complements room decor with sleek design.
    • Impressive power range

    The bottom line in nerd speak: Audioengine uses audiophile-quality, ferrofluid-cooled silk dome tweeters. Silk tweeters hold up well under high power and the edge-driven design gives a very smooth response. The woofers are aramid fiber woven glass composite with rubber surrounds. The HDP6 woofers are housed in cast aluminum frames which provide high rigidity and increased heat dispersion.

    The bottom line for the rest of us: They look great, sound even better, and are built to last a long, long time.

    Set up in seconds, enjoy for years

    At Audioengine, we believe nothing should get in between your new HDP6 Passive Speakers and your stereo AV receiver, integrated amplifier, or tube amp. That includes the setup. Just a simple connection between speakers and amp and you're ready to rock.

    Questions & answers about the HDP6 Passive Speakers

    Absolutely!  You can connect any Audioengine speaker with an analog output to any Sonos product that has the Line-In feature.  You can also connect any Audioengine passive speakers into an existing Sonos system using the Sonos Amp.

    The lower the speaker impedance, the more current (amperage) your amp or receiver will need to provide, but most separate power amps have more than a sufficient power supply and power amp sections for driving 4 ohm loads with ease. In fact many amps will perform better with a 4 ohm load as opposed to 8 ohms if their design is robust enough to supply the extra current. A quick web search will bring up more information on this subject.

    The HDP6 is a very efficient speaker and designed to work well with digital hybrid amplifiers (Class-D, Class-T, etc.) as well as most stereo receivers, integrated amps, tube amplifiers, and whole-house music systems such as the Sonos ZonePlayer 120. The HDP6s have an amplifier power rating of 10-150W per channel, so any amplifier that outputs that power should work great!

    The Audioengine HDP6 is a handsome, high-level performer for the traditionalist—the high-ender who still enjoys the rough-and-tumble mixing and matching of components.

    The HDP6s throw a good soundstage, wide and typically deep for a good bookshelf. Dudamel’s DG Mahler 9 with his LA band sounded spectacular, with deep bass and real power on the bass drum. You’ll feel it.
