Commentary
This bookshelf speaker system has been improved by adopting a balanced drive.
A 16.5 cm cone type woofer is installed in the low range.
Woven Kevlar cone is used for the diaphragm, and balance drive system is used for the magnetic circuit to improve performance.
A 2.5 cm hard-domed tweeter is installed in the high range.
The diaphragm uses an aluminum diaphragm and a tube-loading structure, which effectively absorbs unwanted sound radiation from the back of the diaphragm and realizes high-frequency playback with higher quality.
The network section uses an M cap super-film condenser made of pure silver film manufactured by Mundorff, Germany.
The enclosure uses a bass reflex system.
It is a curved plywood cabinet with a matrix structure, and a flow port is used for the bass reflex port.
There are 3 kinds of variations for finishing the exterior, cherry, rose nut and black ash.
Only the black ash finish was a made-to-order product and the delivery period was 1 to 3 months.
There was a special speaker stand as an option sold separately.
