Our wood cabinets for the woofers (cast marble you couldn't pick up) are a combination of wood products, for high rigidity and for lack of resonance. Inside are special grades of acoustic fiberglass and polyester fiber seldom used, and a baffle/brace that was derived from extensive transmission-line work and golden-ratio math

All of that leads to cabinets far quieter inside than anyone has ever before achieved, and far 'quieter' on the outside as well (lack of reflections), so the music starts and stops more quickly and cleanly, without a 'box' sound.. Black is standard, and our veneering and solid-hardwood finishing are unsurpassed. Everything is built and finished in-house.
Our raw drivers are the world's finest- by anyone's standards, they measure flatter, respond more gracefully, have more rigid pistons than any others. So they don't need 'correction' via the crossover circuits. We are very proud of these parts- made by Aurasound, Audax, Eton, Morel Acoustics, Scanspeak, and others.

No one firm makes the best drivers- we have to pick and choose, and sometimes have them built to our specs. But the companies are specialists in what they engineer and produce- so that frees us to apply our expertise to give the drivers the very best enclosures and to integrate them seamlessly via the crossover. In our literature, we discuss the specifics for each of our models, and will in the full website.
Our crossover circuits are the simplest '1st-order' designs, which is the only circuit that will not smear the amplifier's signal out across the time domain. This circuit, if properly implemented, also makes for a very easy load on the amplifier. This circuit is seldom used though, as it demands the very best drivers, and really quiet cabinetry, and a great deal more design time. Frankly, most designers have also never studied the complicated time-domain math involved to employ this circuit, and then claim "you can't hear time-domain distortions". Maybe they have convinced themselves, but everyone we know can easily hear when time-domain distortion (smearing) is removed.

With our quiet cabinets and linear drivers, this simple crossover circuit keeps the time-domain distortion to a minimum- far less than any other speaker has accomplished- even full-range electrostatic panels. Also, your amplifier sees a very flat impedance curve- so the speakers work on any amplifier, without question. The parts used in the circuit are the very finest available- Solen Litz-wire air-core inductors, Sonicap and Solen high-voltage capacitors, Audio Magic silver/copper/Teflon wire, and Vampire Wire brass/silver/gold binding posts that one can tighten with a wrench. There is no circuit board- all parts are hard-wired with Cardas solder.

The results are worth it, as you pay attention to the musicians instead of the speakers, no matter what music you will play, at any loudness.

• The Europa speaker is $880/pair (used to be $780)- a 6" two-way, ported, 4 Ohms load. That is its impedance curve above. 88-89dB/2.83Volts @ 1 meter, -3dB at 49Hz, +/- 1dB from 55Hz to 21kHz. 15W to 120W into 8 Ohm amplifiers. Expect to use 24" to 28" tall speaker stands for a listener on a sofa at 8-12 feet. 8 x 10.5 x 18.5", 43lbs each , solid cast marble.
• The Continuum 1.5i is a 10" three-way, sealed, available in black or veneers from $4995/pair. 88-89dB/2.83Volts @ 1 meter, -3dB at 42Hz, +/- 1dB from 47Hz to 22kHz. 6.5 Ohms. 12.5 x 14 x 45", marble sculpture. 65lbs each.
• The new Continuum 3 replaces the Continuum 2, available in black or with solid hardwood panels, starting at $6700/pair. It's a 12" three-way, ported, with an adjustable cast-marble sculpture for "Soundfield Convergence" to any listening position. 90dB/2.83Volts @ 1 meter, -3dB at 34Hz, +/- 0.75dB from 39Hz to 22kHz. 7 Ohms. 14.5 x 17 x 51", 100lbs each. You will see in forthcoming pictures how it is even sleeker in appearance- the existing photo does not do it justice.
• Specs common to all models: +/- 0.25dB matching between stereo pairs, 0.05% x-over tolerances, +/- 1 degree phase shift from <300Hz to >8kHz.
