Commentary
A bookshelf type speaker system developed as a reference for a small series.
A 16.5 cm cone type woofer is installed in the low range.
The diaphragm uses a Kevlar cone the diaphragm. The unique FST improves the response time of the cone and the completeness of sound transmission to maximize the effect of Kevlar. The frame is designed to minimize the impedance to airflow from the rear of the driver.
A 2.5 cm metal dome type tweeter is installed in the high range.
The enclosure has a curved cabinet structure and uses a bass reflex system.
In addition, a matrix structure is adopted inside, and the cabinet is reinforced from the inside by a three dimensional honeycomb structure to suppress the coloring.
There are 3 variations of the finish of the exterior, black ash, red cherry and cherry.
A speaker terminal made by WBT is used.
There was a special speaker stand as an option sold separately.
The stand comes in 2 color variations, black and silver.
