Key System Characteristics

• Smooth and lfat frequency response -- no spectral emphasis or coloration, and none of the jagged/comb response shown by ESL's having typical uncontrolled membrane resonances.
• Controls allow you to set a flat or tapered response in the bass and subsonic regions
• Invariant dynamics -- relative response is the same at all listening levels for maximal reproduction of detail and nuance -- no inherent compression effects, no in-band crossover distortion
• Low noise floor -- combines with invariant dynamics for revealing subtle details
• Phase true in the critical frequency band for conservation of natural ambience, image location, and timbre
• Cylindrical, forward-only radiation pattern
• Lack of upward, downward, or rearward radiation minimizes the involvement of room acoustics
• Cuts in half the drop-off in sound level when moving away from a speaker, so one's location between the speakers has remarkably little influence on the stereo effect, and large rooms are easily filled with well-imaged sound
• Flat membrane elements -- maximizes phase coherence, minimizes distortion, prevents multi-resonant spectral coloration, and provides the ultimate transient response
• Acoustical damping -- prevents resonant spectral coloration
• Negligible levels of harmonic distortion -- prevents harmonic coloration
• Negligible levels of intermodulation distortion -- prevents dissonant sideband coloration
• Wide dispersion of high frequencies -- creates a large, uniform listening area
• Extremely potent sound pressure level capability including at very low frequencies -- convincingly recreates percussive impacts, sub-sonic vibrations, and a pipe organ's lowest registers without overemphasis
