When do we get more info?

The speakers are most likely the full range Trapeziums.

I think the speakers may be the new HR-1's.  I thought I read somewhere that Decware would begin selling them. Here a link mentioning the HR-1's and the Err's:

As for the new amp, I wonder if this is a new "lucid" model?  When the original SE34i.3 was announced, Steve mentioned that it included lucid.  However, ithe lucid feature was held back because Steve was not happy with the sound - he said it would take sometime to perfect it.  Maybe he's perfected it now?  Looks like a smaller but similar design of the SE34I.3.

Definitely HR-Ones.  I have some.

Lon,

I wonder if you need to clear your browser cache. https://www.decware.com/newsite/homepage.html
has the new amp and the HRs

With my HR-Ones, for the tweeters, I am using 2.7 Mundorf resistors, and 3.3 Mundorf Supreme caps bypassed with .33 NOS Russian K40Y-9's. Refined the sound nicely.

Yes, the ERRs seem to be just right for you. Just right is hard to beat no matter how good the options are!

Is the omni driver the same as the ERR or is it a second one of the forward facing driver, just facing upwards?  Like an MTM with one driver pointed up?

Distant memory, but I seem to recall that it is conceptually the same as the ERR radial driver, but a little different....Maybe a different size??? ...requiring its own tuning to perfect it???...and therefore a little different SQ???

Hopefully ZYGI will chime in and clarify this absurd post. Where does the mind go?

Hey Lon, I wasn't referring to the slightly different SQ between the speakers, but the drivers. But again this is distant memory.....I get that the speakers, being different designs, will have notably different presentation. I was impressed with the "family resemblance" between the MG944s and HR-Ones though.

let me know if you decide to sell, Lon

Lon, Will, archeion, et al,

The ERR uses a 8" radial driver while the HR-One's use a 6-1/2" radial driver.  Much of the drivers are identical, same motor, voice coil, and the cone, I just use a smaller portion of the 8" cone for the 6-1/2" driver.

Last year, while at the Zenfest, I heard something that had changed my perception of what audio could be. Steve had built an OTL amp, that paired with the HR-Ones was simply the best sound I have heard to date. The speakers sounded ten times larger than one could ever imagine.

The new mono blocks, from talking to Steve do some things better than the OTL amp. I'm about ready to but some cloths in a bag and head out to Peoria tomorrow, even though I know that is an impossibility.

Thanks for the info Bob. The HR-Ones are awesome speakers, showing so much of what is before them. That I prefer the ERRs is no slight, just a testimony to Steve's and your design that has captured my imagination and locked in the way I hear playback.

Yes, the picture is of the HR-1's.  I too have of course owned a pair for the past year and have become quite enamored with them.  

1) For one thing, they work well and sound good with every Decware amplifier made.  Even the 2 watt Zen sounds big and full on these speakers.  

2) The other thing is the refinement they seem to offer.  I just can't seem to make them choke no matter what I throw at them.  Not a single bad note has been heard so far, and since it's been this way all year, there just won't be any.

3) The bass is clean, flat and extended.  Several times I've wondered how such low bass notes come from such a small package.

4) They are forgiving of placement and room conditions similar to our ERR speakers which makes them easy to own and easy to sell.

5) My favorite part is the signature.  As you know, I have several Decware designed speakers that are like my children.  Each one different, but equally loved.  Each has a signature frequency and dynamic  balance that I've come to treasure.  Many times I've wished there was a way to blend them all together into one speaker.  This, whether by accident or good karma, has happened with the HR-1's making them the best speaker OVERALL that we have ever offered. *

* That means it's going to sound the best, look the best, work in the most rooms, work with the most amps and give the most pleasure to the most people.

I'll have them online for sale as soon as the web page is finished.  If anyone wants to secure their place in line for a pair NOW (in other words be the first people on the waiting list) I have provided a link to our shopping cart below:
