The Onkyo U-5000 is a bookshelf speaker system designed with a focus on delivering high-quality sound performance. It features a 3-way speaker configuration, utilizing a 25 cm cone woofer for low frequencies, and horn-type drivers for mid and high frequencies. The system employs a hermetically sealed enclosure to help reduce unwanted vibrations and enhance sound clarity. The mid-range driver is based on the HM-500AmkII driver unit from the Scepter series, and a unique spherical horn design allows for spherical wave emission, which contributes to a more natural sound reproduction. With a playback frequency range of 40 Hz to 20 kHz and a maximum input power of 40W, the U-5000 is capable of producing a sound pressure of 100dB at 1W (measured at 50 cm). The crossover points are set at 700 Hz and 6.5 kHz, which effectively separates the frequencies to drive the different speaker components optimally. The overall dimensions are 376 mm in width, 650 mm in height, and 295 mm in depth, with a total weight of 18.5 kg, making it a substantial yet compact option for bookshelf placement.
