| System A three-way design in a unique elliptical enclosure featuring 2pi radiation and a symbiotic tuning system. Each driver is loaded into a tunable cavity, open in the case of the midrange and low frequency drive units, sealed for the high frequency unit. The crossover employed has been developed not only for purity of transition but specifically for enhancing the performance of the amplifier/loudspeaker interface. Cabinet Design Structural rigidity, resonance control and superlative sound dispersion are the hallmarks of this sophisticated cabinet. The lute shape, first used with Guarneri homage, encourages a more homogeneous frequency response than is possible with a parallel walled enclosure. The cabinet is handcrafted from laminated sheets of maple of various thickness and consistency, which are joined by means of a polymeric glue with a high coefficient of viscosity in order to damp vibration. The back wave produced by the drive units is transmitted to an internal reflex channel virtually eliminating inner cabinet reverberation. The curved sides of this cabinet make it extremely rigid and immune from vibration, enhancing drive-unit wave launch for an uncanny purity of sound. Additionally, the midrange and tweeter sections are housed in a separate enclosure that is resonance optimized and mechanically decoupled from the main enclosure to further improve transparency and detail. |
Transducers Designed according to the concept of “free compression,” each driver sets new standards of excellence in terms of absolute control, speed, and nuance. The silk ring-radiator tweeter uses a proprietary dual-toroidal wave-guide front plate to harmoniously integrate the radiating diaphragm into the front baffle, while the back wave from the diaphragm is loaded into a dual-cardioid acoustic labyrinth, eliminating any unwanted reflections and colorations. The midrange driver is structured around a skeletal cast frame, massive motor assembly, and uniquely damped co-polymer diaphragm to minimize stored energy and maximize linearity. The dual woofers employ an aluminum/magnesium alloy diaphragm and distinctive ventilated phase plug in order to produce bass with absolute precision and dynamic continuity. All drive units are connected by a proprietary silver/palladium alloy wiring harness to a crossover system that highly controls the impedance according to frequency variations to create a remarkably easy load. |
