The MS satellite is a 2-way bass reflex design that is magnetically shielded to prevent magnetic interference with your TV. The MS speaker was engineered to provide serious sound quality, not just to provide a small, lifestyle product. The 3-1/2″woofer features a huge 9 oz magnet structure and a rubber surround for high power handling and high excursion. The speaker is vented for added bass response and lower bass extension. The tweeter is based upon the award winning Teteron tweeter in the Athena AUDITION and SCT series. It provides incredibly clear and accurate high frequencies, that will accurately recreate music and movie soundtracks, whether in 2 channel or multi channel.

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.

KEF HTS1001 Uni-Q Satellite Speakers Black (Single)
KEF's Uni-Q array puts a 0.6-inch aluminium dome at the acoustic centre of the 3-inch mid-bass, so dispersion stays even off-axis and the far seat hears what the middle seat does. Sealed cast aluminium cabinet in high-gloss black, magnetically shielded, 120 Hz to 22 kHz, 86 dB, 10 to 100 watts. Terminals take bare wire or pin connectors. Very good cosmetic condition.
KEF HTS1001 Uni-Q Satellite Speakers Black Pair
KEF’s Uni-Q array puts a 0.6-inch aluminium dome at the acoustic centre of a 3-inch mid-bass cone, so the pair behaves as a single source and the tonal balance holds across the room rather than in one chair. Sealed cast aluminium enclosures, 120 Hz to 22 kHz, 86 dB, magnetically shielded. Very good cosmetic condition.
Mirage Omnisat OS 1PB-1 Omnipolar Satellite – Made in Canada
Both drivers fire upward into spoon-shaped reflectors Mirage calls OMNIGUIDEs, throwing sound through a full 360 degrees with a deliberate bias toward the front — which is what takes the sweet spot off a single chair. This is the original version at a genuine 7 lbs each, with a cast aluminium baffle and butyl rubber surrounds rather than foam. Built in Canada; condition very good.
Mirage Omnisat OS 1PB-1 Omnipolar Satellite (Pair) – Made in Canada
Both drivers fire upward into spoon-shaped OMNIGUIDE reflectors, giving 360-degree dispersion with a deliberate forward bias. 70 Hz to 20 kHz, 89 dB, cast aluminum woofer baffle and butyl surrounds rather than foam. These are the original 7 lb version; the later revisions come in under five. Very good condition.
PSB VisionSound VS300 Aluminum On-Wall Speaker
An on-wall speaker engineered as one rather than adapted into one. It shares the tweeter, terminals and crossover of PSB's VS400 floorstander, but the port was moved to the front so the cabinet can sit flat to a wall without the wall changing what it does — and a rear switch selects NORMAL or ON-WALL, filling the 400 to 500 Hz dip that hard mounting creates. Extruded aluminium, built in Pickering, Ontario. Graded Excellent or Very Good; the only thing separating the two is a single Tic Tac-sized hole at the extreme edge of one grille frame.
Polk Audio f/x 500i Bipole/Dipole Surrounds — Made in USA, Pair
A genuine mirror-imaged pair, labelled LC and RC, with two driver arrays set 45 degrees apart and a rear-panel switch that flips them between bipole and dipole — locatable effects on the wall behind you, a diffuse field on the side walls, same speakers either way. 19.4 lbs each, half again the weight of the FXi A6 that replaced them, and 2 dB more sensitive. Built in the United States, with keyhole mounts moulded into the cabinet. Very Good condition.
