ABOUT THESE
FINE SPEAKERS
Originated in
1980 this exotic cabinet design was the result of 6 years of obsessive
development and became Steve Deckerts first loudspeaker.
23 years later
it made it's first public debut configured around a Fostex FE206EM
full range driver and named HDT (High Definition Towers). It
quickly developed a cult following with audiophiles using low power
tube amps.
Resurfacing
as the HDT Mk II it's now true to the original 2-way design.
The result when compared to its single driver sibling is a
much warmer signature with significantly more weight. Imaging,
top end detail and the speaker's amazing disappearing act are
all improved. The overall signature is glass smooth throughout
the midrange with no possibility for "single driver shout".
Due to the incredible
complexity of the cabinet design these speakers have almost guaranteed
bass performance in any room by delivering the low frequencies
at multiple phase angles. They are the only speakers in the world
that maintain bass output even when hooked up out-of-phase!
With an efficiency
of 94dB and no crossover on the main drivers you can still enjoy them
on low to medium powered amplifiers like your favorite SET. However,
it's really hard to make these speakers sound bad regardless of
the electronics used and they'll easily handle more conventional
high power amplification be it tube or solid state..
Standard finishes
include natural walnut, cherry, maple, oak. The picture on
this page shows them in cherry. Custom finishes and or exotic
hardwoods are also available for more money without the 30 day trial.
Standard finishes come with
a 30 day money back guarantee. If you don't like them 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.
Design
notes on the HDT cabinet are the
same for both the HDT and HDT Mk II's.
