The Kinetic Foundation – The Woofers
The woofer in this kit are extremely efficient and always under control, thanks to immensely strong neodymium magnet stacks. They feature compact, aerodynamically transparent bedrock solid cast aluminium baskets; said material chosen for its magnetically inert properties. Top side the they feature a blended fibre carbon composite cone with a specifically profiled rubber surround. On the frame are solid terminals, connected internally to these are high quality leads sewn in the spiders, which are progressively rolled polycotton. Between the surround atop and spider beneath the reciprocation control is otherworldly. To protect the bottom of the motors are extended back plates capped with a cover to protect the flower-petal arrangement of magnets. It’s a downright crime the back-end of these speakers won’t be seen once installed, for the motor is a work of art.

The Vocal Aspect – The Midranges
A state-of-the-art midrange drivers are effectively wide-band drivers, able to play cleanly well into the five figure frequency region whilst at the same time packing a punch down into the three figure region, although they ought to be crossed a little higher. Arguably the most important driver of the range as it emits all vocal and middle range tones; this unit is a phenomenal driver. Akin to the larger driver it also features a magnetically inert high-grade cast aluminum basket. To protect the firm yet lightweight composite dome they feature integrated hex-mesh grilles which are acoustically transparent. Controlling the show are neodymium magnets, with a advanced cooling system for superior thermal dynamics.

Top End Wonderment – The Tweeters
Sitting adjacent to their siblings and looking just as resplendent, the tweeters astound with their amazing detail, complimenting the surrounding drivers perfectly. Because of their supreme motor strength they’re able to cover a wide band, conducive to them working just as well with woofers solely as a two-way component set if need be. Top side there is a specifically profiled hand coated silk composite dome supported by silk suspension system. This affair has been coated with special chemical compound to strengthen it against deformation, meaning the dome is extremely strong yet incredibly lightweight and easy to move with lightning speed. The dome is meticulously shaped to return an vast azimuth. Protecting the front is a hex mesh grille, styled to match the midrange driver. The rear labyrinth chamber is constructed from high-grade machined aluminum and sports a heavy duty neodymium magnet to control the reciprocation without fuss.
