  • Speaker No.1159.3

    These speakers are current inventory and are available to ship right away. We've improved the sound quality even further by upgrading the woofer to the 6" version and increasing the enclosure size slightly. These speakers offer very wide soundstage due to the ES waveguide along with excellent soundstage depth due to perfect time alignment of the drivers. 

  • Solid Wood Horns

    Utilizing proprietary horn flare geometry, these wood horns have been highly optimized for audiophile sound quality. Multiple variations of the horns were tested during the development with the goal of providing purity of sound and ultimate resolution.
