Wizard,
Vet du om noen rapporter fra CES som gir tilbakemeldinger om lyden fra det rommet med Sovereign og Neeper Acoustics?
Mvh

This is Kim Neeper Rasmussen and his only speaker model (so far), the Perfection One, designed and built in Denmark. Kim used to work for Gamut but left to start his own company and design his own speaker. "I'm a crazy perfectionist", he told us. "I can find flaws in anything, but I think I've gotten pretty close (to perfection) with this speaker." He told us when he left Gamut he sold everything to start his new company in quest of his perfect speaker. It took him almost three years to design it, a year just on the crossover.
Earlier in our report, we told you that resonance is more and more being recognized as a chief culprit in achieving good sound. Kim agrees. That's why his speaker biggest achievement is the cabinet which has no parallel surfaces inside or out. "It's totally asymmetrical", he stated. In addition, the front baffle is machined out of solid aluminum as are the bases and rear ports. "There are 60 aluminum parts", Kim added.
The cone's magnets are oversize. He uses the magnet from the larger Scanspeak woofer on his 5 1/2 inchers which he heavily modified. The unique pattern in the cabinet's finish is pressed into the wood when it's damp under high pressure.
Is the Perfection One "perfect"? The clarity, speed, soundstage and musical timbres were outstanding, even in the less than friendly room. The speaker retails for $20,000 and is one of the better sounds we heard. Hard work pays off sometimes.
