ABOUT THESE FINE SPEAKERS
Ideal for (but not limited to) small single
ended amplifiers of 2 watts or more, these little bookshelf monitors
make a supremely respectable audiophile speaker when mounted up on
stands.
They feature a fabulous wool cone driver with
no crossover. With a sensitivity of 94dB 1w/1m this is an
extremely quick driver. To mate with it we added an isodynamic planar
ribbon tweeter using only a single capacitor to cross it over around
8kHz.
The result is as one might expect, excellent
dynamics common to high efficiency drivers with the coherency and
openness only found in crossoverless speakers.
What one may not expect is the outstanding
frequency balance. This is one of those speakers that you have to
really work hard to make it sound bad. Incredibly musical and
smooth with layer upon layer of micro detail.
These speakers have a very natural sounding
midrange that leaves an impression when you hear vocals, male or
female. The most surprising thing about these speakers are their bass
character. It provides a solid foundation for the midrange
ensuring female vocals are never dry or strident sounding.
Supremely controlled and effortless they
deliver a presentation with the weight and size you would never believe
possible from such a small cabinet. (In fact they have more
weight then many of the higher efficiency floor standing towers
out there.)
With the vast majority of bookshelf speakers
being less then 90dB efficient and limited to a max SPL of 106dB or
less you won't find a lot of real competition for this speaker no
matter if you're running 2 watts, 25 watts or 100 watts.
Combine this performance advantage with the
coherency gained by eliminating the crossover and you have a speaker
fully adept at showing off the merits of a really fine tube amplifier.
In fact on low or no feedback designs you can expect imaging to
be holographic, huge, no holes and well focused.
Custom woods and finishes are available at
additional cost (shown left) and are non-refundable.
Standard finishes come with a 30 day money back guarantee. If you
don't like these speakers for any reason you can return them for a
complete refund less a 10% restock fee. Our way of making it as easy as
possible to audition speakers in your home for a minimal risk.
