Although it is higher in model than the db401, the db461 actually possesses a lower power output of 120w versus 135w. Nonetheless, the Audio db461 utilizes a .75” liquid-cooled silk/polymer composite tweeter, as well as low-mass 2-layer 25mm Kapton voice coils, and what is described as a “rock solid, acoustically inert stamped steel basket finished in rustproof gun metal gray.” Wrapped in butyl rubber, the Polk Audio db461 is cited as being an optimal solution for consumers seeking the same functionalities of the db461, but in a larger frame.
