Notes: 1. All shipping and associated costs are the responsibility of the buyer 2. Wire payment only Specifications Summary: System Type: Dynamic-driver four-way system using a triple-chambered quasi-transmission line. Woofer Tuning: The hybrid design is composed of three separate chambers with a tuned vent at 20 Hz. The 4″-wide vent tube with 7″ flare extends bass response without the “one note bass” problem found in other ported systems. Note that the bass response is user adjustable +/- 3dB for room compensation, see Owners Manual. Cabinet and Bracing: A two-inch thick front baffle provides exceptional vibration control and image solidity, while MDF interlocking braces provide rigidity and freedom from boxy colorations. Large spikes are included. Size (per channel): Height: 44″, Width: 11″, Depth: 24″. Weight (per channel): Woofer module (x2): 123 lbs each, M/T module: 63 lbs., Total Weight Per Channel: 186 lbs. Driver Complement (per channel): 9″ Magnesium-coned woofers from Norway (x2), 7″ carbon Kevlar-cellulose Aerogel midrange driver from France, 1.5″ silk dual concentric ring tweeter from Denmark, 1″ rear firing ambience mid/tweeter with fabric dome and transmission-line loading from Denmark. All drivers use our proprietary Advanced Motor System with low distortion design. Crossover: Classified crossover design and crossover points, optimized for flat off-axis response and phase consistency over a wide Global Axis. Very high quality parts are used from France, Germany, and the U.S., including proprietary film and foil capacitors, Perfect-Lay inductors, Goertz copper foil inductors, metal film resistors, and high purity copper internal wiring. Decoupling System:The front and rear baffles as well as the top cap are separated and mechanically isolated from the main enclosure by industrial rubber adhesives. This eliminates the main source of resonance, which can color the sound in competing designs. Binding Posts: Double sets of platinum plated binding posts from Germany, set up for biwire. Ambience Driver: 1″ treated fabric dome with Wave Guide and transmission-line rear wave loading. Ambience circuit uses Dimensional Control (effects level) to compensate for room acoustics and soundstage depth. Provides a Global Axis polar response pattern to simulate live musical reproduction. Frequency Response: 20Hz-70 kHz, +/- 4 dB (30Hz-30 kHz +/- 2 dB) Impedance: 6 ohms avg. (8 ohms M/T; 4 ohms woofer) Recommended Power: 20 watts up to 500 watts music power.
