$35000
The massive front baffle, measuring 2.25 inches in thickness, is milled of solid active/resonating tonewood. Acting as a backbone for the structure, the solid wood plinth and baffle are loaded with a vacuum-formed multilayered non-resonant elliptical plywood cabinet containing a special 30-inch internal tonewood resonator, or "Instrument," in vintage Rosewood with French violin finish, signed, numbered and photographed prior to installation.
This magnificent loudspeaker features an extra-large 14.5-inch hand-turned solid Maple horn, loaded with our 1-inch textile dome tweeter. The horn also serves as the port (an exclusive innovation).
The Instrument will set a new standard in dynamic realism. From airy violins to the thunder of the deepest bass, sound is delivered with speed and nimble posture. The Instrument is a symphony much greater than its parts and operates as a whole without truncation, using the organic power of the horn to correct the limitations of the antiquated cone/panel transducer. It is beautiful to look at and even more beautiful to listen to.
