ABOUT THESE FINE SPEAKERS

This is the fifth and final generation in this unique loudspeakers evolution. Now simply called the Decware ERR's or Decware Radials, they obsolete the prior models!

The most recent models, RL1.5 and RL3.0, have been discontinued.


NEW DRIVER: The New Decware Radial Loudspeakers feature the final and best Decware Extended Response Radial Drivers made to date - the result of 10 years of continued R&D that took place after the proprietary designs debut in 1998. The radial driver still remains crossoverless.

NEW CABINET: We also took what we learned from the RL3.0 and improved the cabinet design with a passively loaded plinth floating below the cabinet.

NEW RESULTS: With these final improvements you can expect full rich room filling sound throughout your living space with the kind of holographic imaging that will have you and everyone who hears them shaking your heads in total disbelief!  

BASS RESPONSE: Bass response with the radials was always nice but it wasn't until the RL3 that it changed to impressive.  The ERR's have even more weight and coherency in the lower registers than the RL3's did, a big part of the reason why the RL3's immediately became obsolete.

SMALL ROOMS: If you're cursed with a tiny room and wished you had a sound stage that literally made the walls disappear... there probably isn't a better speaker for accomplishing the task than the ERR's (Extended Response Radials).

LARGE ROOMS: At any given point in a room you can never hear more than 30% of the direct energy from the radial driver - unlike a conventional speaker where you can hear 100% of it if you sit directly in front of it.  In the listening position in front of a pair of ERR's you'll hear the equivalent of a 93dB speaker.  However, the radial driver itself is considerably beyond that figure making it terrific for filling large rooms and even cathedral spaces with full expansive sound.  Interestingly enough you don't have to turn them up loud to hear them in other rooms of the house... which means when you walk back into the listening room you also don't have to turn them down.

TUBE AMPLIFIERS: The ERR's are a tube friendly loudspeaker.  It's your basic single driver full range crossoverless speaker with a tweeter to extend the top end response.  With this high efficiency comes great speed and resolution but unlike many of the popular speakers for low power amps, these will never sound lean or forward.

ERR's are a naturally resolving speaker with a laid back sound stage of excellent width and depth.  They never get in your face, and can even be used near field.  Another bonus is how forgiving these speakers are to set up. No tape marks on the floor - you won't need them.

SYNERGY: Few amplifiers image as well as low power SET amps and few if any speakers can explode that sound stage like the ERR's.  Why not get the two together and see what happens?

POWER NEEDED: Ideal power for SET and other tube amps is 2 watts in tiny rooms, 4 watts in small rooms, 6 to 12 watts in larger rooms, 25 watts when you just want to really show off in any size room.

SURROUND SOUND: Many people have thought they heard more than two speakers when listening to the ERR's. But that's because they've never heard a THX setup with 5 or 7 of these speakers.  By far the most impressive and seamless channel to channel performance we've ever heard on Movies.  Part of the reason for this is that you can set the ERR's literally against the wall and flood it with sound for your side and rear channels. Although not designed as a home theater loudspeaker, ERR's have proven to be the absolute ultimate demonstration of multi-channel sound.

ADJUSTABLE TOP END: The Ribbon tweeter can be adjusted both in amplitude and in signature via an externally located capacitor and resistor. This way you can take complete control over the top end matching it to your room perfectly and without the fidelity robbing effects of L-PADs.  Some also find the ability to roll caps on the tweeter refreshing as they explore the sonic differences from one hi-end brand to another.

IMAGING: A conventional loudspeaker could possibly disappear this well if it were perfectly set up in a room that was treated on all four walls with floor to ceiling quadratic diffusers... A serious commitment that's usually not even possible in your home not to mention incredibly expensive. The ERR's will perform to this level even when casually placed in almost all living spaces without a single ugly diffuser hanging on your walls. (to understand how this is possible you can read the white papers of the first radial design)  So if you're into this hobby in part or in full for the illusion of completely 3D sound and perfect imaging here is a way to get there and do it in the comfort of your home with very little effort.

Radial wave fronts are nearly perfect for accurate reproduction of spacial acoustics until you reach high frequencies where the acoustics of your listening room makes just the opposite become true. The ERR's switch from large radial wave fronts to a precise point source at 8kHz. This is in part what separates the ERR's from other omni directional speakers on the market.
