The driver is powered by our unique curved cone in ultra-hardened woven polypropylene to achieve great internal damping and perfect control over the moving parts, that are always perfectly matched to deliver a fantastic frequency response.

SPEAKER POSITIONING Identifying the ideal sound/acoustic room to play an audio system well is not that strictly related to the proportional dimensions of the rooms as many audiophiles believe. The sound played through an audio system is just “Energy diffused in a closed environment” that is all absorbed, reflected and dispersed. The loudspeaker position is the most important aspect because managing the reflections is a key factor to get the best sound.
SPEAKER POSITIONING REAR WALL The rear wall does not need to be symmetrical like the side walls but some additional acoustic treatment will be able to diffract the energy of the sound wave which is important to get good results. A traditional library with books and records is a very good “no cost” solution. OPPOSITE WALL The wall opposite of the stereo system is not that critical.
SPEAKER POSITIONING WIDER STEREO SOUND STAGE SPEAKER POSITION (for some kind of instrumental music, symphonic orchestra, etc.) LISTENING POINT WIDE STEREO IMAGE SPEAKER • The distancePOSITION of both the speakers to the listening point should be the same • The distance betweeninstrument both the speakers and thesynfonic side walls should be the same (for some music, orcherstra etc.
SPEAKER POSITIONING NARROWER STEREO SOUND STAGE SPEAKER POSITION (Optionally for solo instrument music like piano, guitar and voice etc.) LISTENING POINT WIDE STEREO IMAGE SPEAKER The closer the two speakers stand the better the focus but worse the wide realistic sound stage. POSITION (for some instrument music, synfonic orcherstra etc.
SPEAKER POSITIONING DISTANCE BETWEEN SPEAKER AND LISTENING POINT ORIENTATION A B C LISTENING POINT The distance between the speakers should be the same as the one to the listening point. If the distance is shorter, the speaker must be directed to the listening point accordingly (see illustration above). Empirical tests are necessary to find the right proportion between wide stereo sound stage focus and crispy details.
