Why our speakers are unique?Box Construction The speaker box is hand made using the highest grade 18mm marine hardwood ply. Similar to that used in expensive musical instruments. Our speakers use a transmission line design for the most natural sounding bass.
SpeakersWe use silk tweeters for a far sweeter, smoother and natural sounding treble than tweeters made out of magnesium which sounds hard, bright and brittle. Paper cone midrange drivers are chosen for their unique ability to reproduce midrange (in particular vocals) more naturally than any other driver material. Unless you require bullet proof drivers - then kevlar drivers are prefered! We use woofers that have the most suitable specifications for transmission line speaker boxes, giving you outstanding low bass.
ComponentsWe use low-loss oxygen free braided copper wire for RF rejection. Top quality speaker spikes are used to raise your speaker box off the floor, thus reducing resonance from the flooring. Top quality speaker connectors are used to ensure sound quality is maintained.
CrossoversMade using almost 1mm thick copper chokes for minimal signal loss. This is very important when you consider the large length of wire used on chokes. Probably the biggest factor in signal degradation is the use of inferior, cheaper capacitors. We use highest grade polypropylene capacitors in the tweeter path of the crossover. Polypropylene capacitors are 10 times the cost of normal capacitors, this is why almost all speaker building companies don’t use them. We believe you can’t afford not too! Our components are hardwired together instead of using solder track PC board. Solder track PC should be avoided at all times due to its poor acoustic quality. Every attention is paid to the quality of the signal as it passes through the speaker.
Open MidrangeLike transmission line this is not new technology but is almost never used in favour of quicker and cheaper designs. Expensive speakers will often use teardrop design to reduce internal standing waves. Although these designs are very effective the driver working against internal box pressure produces a very distinctive sound. Semi-open baffles (only possible when using very high Q drivers) don't have standing waves either as they don't have any parallel sides, but they have the added benefit of the driver producing sine waves against no physical back pressure but rather just into open air in the same way that musical instruments do; thus producing the next most open and natural sounding midrange after the musical instruments themselves.
