Latour from
Shindo Labs. The Latour is a two way design with a compression driver on
a horn for the mid/high and a 15" stiff paper, short throw woofer for the
lows. The Latour is a tube friendly 100db efficient and 16ohms flat impedance.
It features an adjustable woofer/tweeter level for room placement/matching
optimization. Also available is a smaller version featuring a 12" woofer
with field coil or Alnico magnets and a smaller field coil compression driver
for the mid/high. Which one is right for you depends on the room dimensions.
SoloVox from
Auditorium 23.
The SoloVox is capable of the most extraordinary, life-like, natural and unforced music reproduction with the amplifiers of the most modest output power and they can do this with an ease of placement in moderate sized rooms that it was only recently taken to be unthinkable in an open baffle design. The SoloVox brings all the distinctive virtues of the open baffle to all listening rooms. The uniqueness of the SoloVox extends beyond this major breakthrough in ease of placement in reasonable listening rooms. The SoloVox cabinet design unites the advantages of acoustic baffle and closed housings and achieves optimal utilization of the sound energy radiated to the rear. Ordinarily troublesome diffraction effects of the sound waves radiated forward are reduced by the shape of the acoustic baffle The proportions of energy radiated rearward are dispersed by specially formed elements allowing a positioning near the wall in smaller rooms. The laterally radiated sound waves join the forward ones in ways that literally make the enclosure disappear. Music is played as if in space before you and not from speakers: the ultimate "disappearing" act.

3XL from DeVore Fidelity. "Amazing sound from a small pair of stand-mounted
speakers. Utilizing the tweeter unit from its top-of-the-line Silverback
Reference speakers, and a new, 5-inch paper woofer all in a terrific-looking,
solid bamboo enclosure (very green), John DeVore has created a wonderful
sounding small speaker." - Gary Krakow for The Street.com.

Silverback from
DeVore Fidelity. DeVore Fidelity’s new statement speaker is the long
awaited Silverback Reference. This speaker is unmatched in its ability to
convey subtle musical nuance and delicate micro-details coupled to explosively
powerful dynamics and truly full-range frequency response. A 21Hz-40kHz bandwidth
achieved with a true 8 Ohm impedance, and a low-reactance crossover using
our award-winning gibbon technology and pure silver foil capacitors makes
the Silverback Reference transparent, seamless, and very easy for almost
any amplifier to drive.

8 from DeVore Fidelity. "As you may have guessed by now, I bought the
test speakers. There was really never any doubt. I knew I wanted them when
I first heard them. Everyone who has heard them in my home has also commented
on how good they sound. I’m pretty sure you will too." Gary Krakow,

3 from DeVore Fidelity. "Of particular interest were the Gibbon 3 loudspeakers
by DeVore Fidelity, or DeF for short. These are a small, stand-mounted,
two-way design that produces a very large sound with a surprising amount
of low-end extension, given their diminutive size." Henry Wilkenson,

Britannia
B2 from REL. For anyone but REL, the B2 would be their signature model.
B2 reproduces much of B1’s design, including the patented balanced
ARM loading, but in a more compact 10” design with a lower power
rating. Forward firing makes this model similarly flexible in placement.
Performance is deeply concussive, with high output levels. Quality isn’t
everything; it’s the only thing. All Britannia Series feature 24
crossover frequencies from 22-96Hz, using precision trimmed circuits. REL’s
unique design permits operation of both high-level support of main speakers
and .1 channel from one B2–something no other manufacturer offers.
Massive power supplies and outstanding build quality are the cornerstones
of REL’s reputation.

soul of music the chance to reveal itself in all its magnificent coherence,
fluidity and harmony. Lute shape design, constrained-mode damping, enclosure
formed using 21 pieces of hand selected solid maple wood.
Auditor "M" from
Sonus faber. Auditor “M” embodies the Sonus faber tradition in
the field of compact loudspeakers, making use of top-quality components and
a minimal crossover network. Auditor M employs a gentle 6dB per octave roll
off in order to create a refined sound, a musicality of unquestionable charm.
Lute shape design, combination of sandwich construction obtained using hand
selected wood layers and solid maple, quality graded and oriented for carefully
optimized resonances and standing waves control, available in Natural maple

Cremona "M" from
Sonus faber. Cremona M, (M = modified) is a loudspeaker that builds forward
the recognized technological value of Elipsa in order to achieve new levels
of performance in sound reproduction. State of the art components – with
particular reference to the midrange made of randomized fibre – combined
with a cross-over network that remains faithful to the principle of maximum
simplicity, allows this loudspeaker to express itself with great speed, transparency,
naturalness and with control of low frequencies. This allows it to be installed
in small rooms as well as large. Lute shape design, combination of sandwich

RS1
Loudspeaker from Rega Research offers exceptional sound quality and value for money. Its accurate low frequency and very even extended high quality treble generate a well balanced and enjoyable performance. These attributes set the RS1 apart from the competition, producing an extremely versatile, dynamic and musical sound. The RS1 loudspeaker uses our classic RR125 Bass/Mid drive unit. This unit offers excellent damping of resonances, and a unique paper cone. The RR125 has a smooth response which aids seamless Bass driver integration and exceptional timing.
RS3
Loudspeaker from Rega Research is Rega's entry level floor standing loudspeaker model. However there is nothing entry level about its performance. 70mm taller than its predecessor it now has improved bass response and makes great use of our new ZRR tweeter technology. The RS3 loudspeaker uses Rega's classic RR125 midrange drive unit housed in a sealed section. This offers excellent control of driver resonances, resulting in a smooth midrange response. The RS3 also benefits from a side firing 5" driver, which utilises an 8 layer voice coil. This voice coil design allows us to eradicate any crossover components for this driver. The Bass seamlessly integrates with the mid range unit and with exceptional timing. This is without compromising any of the midrange and treble performance which Rega is renowned for.
RS5
Loudspeaker from Rega Research is the bigger sibling of the RS3. Again a floor standing loudspeaker, utilizing the same cabinet technology designed into the RS3. It has a sealed mid section and a comb filter working together with a precisely tuned port. This gives an exceptional bass, midrange and high frequency output. It is a larger more defined sound when compared to the RS3. The RS5 is suitable for all room environments due to its design of a side firing system. This system can offer improved sound stage/dynamics and also allows the RS range of speakers to cope well in difficult rooms.
RS7
Loudspeaker from Rega Research has been designed to be effective, easy to use and above all to reproduce music.
Featuring a two and half way driver system enclosed in a quarter wave transmission line, they produce an accurate and natural low frequency response. This is matched with a well balanced Mid range and exceptional high frequency response, thanks to the Rega designed tweeter HF20-ZRR unit and the Bass/Mid RR125 unit.
12L2
Bookshelf Speaker from Quad is slightly larger than its stand-mount
sibling and as such, offers a slightly wider dynamic range. It also uses
a larger 6.5" version of the KEVLAR bass driver, with the low-reflection
chassis seen throughout the series. Transient attack and detail are first-class,
as is the wide dispersion (reaching across 90 degrees from axis). Bass
extension is also impressive with the -3db point reached at 45Hz. Finished
in piano laquered gloss, these are excellent all-rounders which will bring
out the most in a music collection.
ESL-2805 from
Quad uses six panels. The inner two panels of the ESL-2805s construction,
utilize concentric anode rings for point source imaging, and the outer rings
are linear in their response. The clarity of mid-range for which the Quads
are most famed is fully in evidence, as is the sparkling detail and transparency
that has long been the hallmark of this series. Their response characteristics
are virtually identical and a base weight of 34.8kg together with the rigid
bracing, ensures they are suitably deep in bass and dynamic enough to fill
all but the largest of listening rooms.
The
Model 2Ce Signature II from Vandersteen. The legendary Model 2 series
has set the standard for affordable high-fidelity loudspeakers for over
20 years. The 2Ce Signature is more transparent and conveys spatial information
better than any previous Model 2 series loudspeaker. The low frequencies
are tighter and more detailed. The highs are cleaner and lower in distortion.
With the addition of the 2Ce Signature, the Model 2 series reaches a new
pinnacle of performance and musicality. The Absolute Sound Affordable
Speaker of the Year Award for 2002. The Stereophile Class "B" Recommended
Component and Editors Choice 2001.
The
Quatro from Vandersteen. The Vandersteen Quatro speakers provide enhanced
performance by combining the 3a Signature and a pair of 2Wq's in a more
esthetically pleasing enclosure, simplifying the setup procedure and presenting
a less imposing presence in the room. The Vandersteen Quatro has many of
the same attributes as the Model 5 without the cost of the veneered cabinet.
Like all Vandersteen speakers, Quatros are completely time and phase accurate.
They set new standards for speakers at this price point with wide bandwidth
and linearity; exceptional resolution and imaging; and outstanding naturalness
and musicality. Vandersteen speakers deliver demonstrably superior performance
and sound more like real music.
