Athena Technologies was launched in the late 1990s by Audio Products International of Toronto, the company behind Energy and Mirage, first for sale through Best Buy. We carry Athena bookshelf speakers, centre channels, subwoofers and speaker stands. We've had more than 70 Athena listings so far. Every used Athena here is inspected, tested and serviced as required, then photographed in-house and covered by our Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty and Perpetual Trade-Back Program. Don't see the model you want? Tell us on First Dibs and we'll email you when one arrives.
Our best-selling Athena models so far: the S.5 bookshelf speakers, then the C.5 centre channel, the P.5 subwoofer, the AS-P4000 subwoofer and the AS-B1 bookshelf speakers.
The Athena story
Athena Technologies was a brand of Audio Products International (API) of Scarborough, Ontario, the Toronto-area maker of Energy and Mirage speakers. API added Athena in the late 1990s and built it for the Best Buy chain in the US. An API executive recalls that the first order put Athena into more than 500 stores.
Klipsch. In 2006 Klipsch bought API, naming Mirage, Energy and Athena Technologies among its brands, and said their design and engineering would stay separate. By the time Audiovox (later VOXX) bought Klipsch in 2011, Athena was no longer among the brands it listed.
Not the NRC's Athena. The brand is not the same thing as the National Research Council's Athena project, a loudspeaker research program here in Ottawa that API and other Canadian makers took part in.
Which Athena is which?
Point 5 family: the S.5 bookshelf speakers, the C.5 centre and the P.5 subwoofer, and a later Point 5 MKII.
AS series: such as the AS-B1 and AS-B1.2 bookshelf speakers and the AS-P300 and AS-P4000 subwoofers.
Stands and mounts: Athena also sold speaker stands and wall mounts.

Polk Audio PSW350 10″ Front-Firing Powered Subwoofer 260W
A 10-inch front-firing Dynamic Balance woofer on a 100-watt RMS amplifier — 260 watts dynamic — in a dual-rear-ported cabinet good for 25 to 180 Hz. Speaker-level in and out, stereo line inputs and an unfiltered LFE jack, with a variable 60 to 160 Hz low-pass and a phase switch. 37 lbs, black matte. Very good cosmetic condition.
Yamaha YST-SW105 Active Servo Subwoofer — Compact 100W
An 8-inch front-firing paper cone on Yamaha's Advanced Active Servo amplifier — 100 watts into 5 ohms, down to 30 Hz, from a cabinet small enough to tuck beside a bookshelf pair. Continuously variable high-cut from 50 to 150 Hz, a Music/Movie voicing switch, RCA and speaker-level inputs plus full-range pass-through outputs. Very good condition.
Yamaha SW-3 Active Servo Subwoofer — 10″ Woofer | Air Woofer Tec
Yamaha’s Active Servo Technology couples a negative-impedance drive amplifier to a Helmholtz resonator port — the Air Woofer opening — so the amplifier corrects the driver’s motion as it works. 100 watts into a 25 cm cone, rated down to 25 Hz, with a continuously variable 50–150 Hz high-cut at 24 dB per octave. Speaker-level and line inputs both. Very good condition.
JVC SX-PW33 Slim Tower Subwoofer — 6.5in, 100W, High-Pass Out
A tall, narrow bass column meant to stand beside a cabinet rather than in front of it — 8.25 inches across the front and unusually deep at 17, which is the trade: the depth buys back the internal volume the narrow baffle gives away, so a 6.5 inch woofer is properly loaded in a strip of floor barely wider than a hardcover book. Driven by an integrated 100 watt amplifier, with speaker-level inputs and high-pass outputs so it works with an amplifier that has no subwoofer output at all. Good condition.
