Utterly musical and resolute, the coherent VEENA delivers unusually -big- sound from a relatively compact floor-standing enclosure. (Google and check out the reviews) Six years ago, I sent them back to the manufacturer for the following upgrades:
Internal Wiring:
High purity (6N) OCC copper conductors with Teflon dielectric (continuous cast, single crystal, cryogenically treated). Appropriate thickness of wires are used for each driver.
Mechanical Grounding of the Drivers:
Drains spurious vibration energy from the driver’s frame and the motor to the cabinet for a well controlled, detailed and dynamic sound.
Copper Shorting Ring (Faraday Ring):
Improves linearity in driver’s voice coil magnetic field gap to reduce dynamic compression and better tracking of signal.
Soft brass screws used to fasten drivers:
Reduces the resonant noises generated by the driver/frame and commonly used steel screw interaction.
New larger, height adjustable brass cones and brass floor pads:
Sonically better than aluminum alloy or steel isolation cones used previously.
(not applicable on Dulcet and MM de Capo-BE).
New, gold plated real copper five way binding posts with gold plated conductors:
Better conductivity than the commonly used brass types for better input signal transmission.
New high purity (6N) OCC copper bi-wire jumpers:
Clearly better than the jumpers previously used.
Cryogenic treatment:
Connectors, internal wiring, and metal driver parts are now cryogenically treated
Higher performance options:
Customized silver plate high pass filter capacitors ($120.00 per pair):
Recommended with the beryllium dome tweeter upgrade for better resolution.
Surreal Acoustic Lens ($70.00 each driver).
Patented… Designed to prevent the formation of air turbulence in the deepest point of cone drivers.
Deep and tuneful bass, articulate and realistic vocals and airy treble are seamlessly integrated, effortlessly projecting intimate and engaging music. These look great from the front, grills are tight if you want to use. There are a couple of cosmetic marks on the sides that are not very noticeable. THESE SPEAKERS SOUND AWESOME. Very natural and lifelike sound. Great sound stage ( I used them as alternatives to my Electrostatics depending on recording and source) SPECIFICATIONS
