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.
