Sound Character

Speaker system No.1680 is designed to provide a rich and warm sound character in medium to large listening rooms. The 10" woofer provides plenty of clean output partnered with an excellent high frequency driver that we've chosen for it's warm character. The sound is lush and engaging while still maintaining proper dynamics.

Configuration

Configured as a 2-way floorstanding speaker utilizing a 10" SEAS woofer and 1" compression driver mounted to our ES-800 Biradial horn. The front baffle is CNC machined in one piece from 15cm thick hardwood. The rest of the enclosure is full 22mm thick hardwood.

Internal Components

The following is our standard crossover components and internal wiring which we've been using for a decade. We continue to try various other brands and components for potential upgrades however these components listed below have stood the test of time for excellent sound quality, particularly with compression drivers.

Silver plated OFC multistrand wiring with PTFE (teflon) jacketing (16Ga)
Mundorf EVO oil capacitors
Solen air core inductors (16Ga.)
Dayton Audio Precision Grade 1% tolerance resistors, non-inductive, shielded
Point to point wiring
WBT binding posts

Measurement

Below is the off-axis frequency response for the No.1680 speaker. As you can see the off-axis is even and consistent with the on-axis response. This means the speaker is completely devoid of edge diffraction artifacts that could blur detail. This also means the power response into the room will be balanced and similar to the on-axis response.
