Summer SALE : Limited Opportunity !
Available for auditioning in my Los Angeles Reference Audio Showroom.
Please Note: Store Demo's in better than 8/10 condition and as new, no issues no issues or annoying blemishes.
Serial # DLMK SX 45 & DLMK SX 46
Preferred
local pick up as they are wooden factory crated and 820 pounds crated
and just over 350 pounds each. In my opinion they create sound as good
as it gets.
It is not a secret in my opinion these are
by far the finest speakers at this or any price point especially
considering their smallish floor standing size, design and cost
no object parts and world class design. The top drivers being cost no object Diamond cones , top crossover parts, pure
laboratory grade Silver internal wiring all best to be found anywhere including
new improved woofers and let's do not forget top made Diamond Tweeter & Mid Range
drivers (best I've ever heard).
They have the best imaging, sound stage,
resolution, along with the best cost no object sound out of this compact true: cost no object compact floor standing speaker.
This uses the best cabinet and overall approach and sound I’ve ever experienced.
Easy driven and I’ve had "equally successful results" with a stereo 100 watt Tube or 1,000 watt mono block amplifiers !
This
pair has the external attached crossovers (see pictures) and better new
improved Bass drivers and improved bass performance.
Polymer MKS-X:
http://polymeraudio.com/systems/polymer-mks-x/
Here
is a product that is the result of extreme exploration at the
boundaries of current technology. Our product development efforts are
purely driven by rigorous and objective engineering principles. At the
core of our development work is obsessive focus on reducing and
eliminating distortion that is present in mechanical, electrical, and
acoustical domains of a loudspeaker system. And our research in this
area has shown that when this is achieved, a much more visceral
emotional connection to music takes place.
But in the MKS-X
certain things defy engineering. It is something that we cannot measure
with any instrument. It is an example of an object taking on properties
that were not known by its own creator.
We cannot adequately
describe this product and strongly encourage an audition with an
experienced dealer. When properly set-up in a system with sufficient
component synergy all “Hi-Fi” artifacts are gone and a startlingly
lifelike recreation of live music is within reach.
Another stark
difference between the MKS-X and the vast selection of loudspeakers
currently available is that it continues to reveal nuance and continues
to engage the listener over time. We believe that its complete freedom
from any kind of electronic signature and lack of a “Hi-Fi” nature makes
it an absolute reference that has astonished listeners. Because the
Hi-Fi effect can appear to be impressive in a short demo and then
boredom sets in over time, we encourage a careful and extended audition
to fully understand the capabilities of this product.
Features:
- Laboratory grade silver from input to output
- 5N silver wire inductors for best signal transmission
- Crossover network designed entirely without the use resistors
- Steep
crossovers filters are accomplished with minimal parts count. The band
pass circuit for diamond midrange is just a total of 4 parts. - All
mechanical resonances are eliminated from crossover components both
internally with damping compounds and externally with potted enclosures
to protect delicate circuitry from powerful forces generated inside the
cabinet. - Pure diamond tweeter, maintains theoretically ideal pistonic motion throughout its entire pass band.
- Pure
diamond midrange, like the tweeter this midrange maintains
theoretically ideal pistonic motion where human hearing is most
sensitive. Other cone materials bend and flex and warp at various
frequencies creating colorations that are not on the recording (creating
a sound of their own). The MKS-X allows you to hear exactly the signal
as supplied by your electronics. - World’s most inert cabinet
construction using a combination of metal alloys to push resonances
beyond the ability of instrument’s to measure them. The front baffle is
machined out of a solid billet of material that is 5 times more damped
and 5 times more stiff than aluminum. All ringing modes in the mid-range
are eliminated. - Complex geometry and strategically placed merino wool inlays completely address diffraction by both scattering and absorption
- Acoustic centers of drivers are positioned to achieve near point source radiation
- Ideal horizontal dispersion characteristics optimize reflected energy in the room
