Det er ett par på Audiogon til 10.
Men dette er så rent og pent og slikt at her liker man eller ikke, tror jeg.
Bassen kan med fordel drives separat, via elektronisk eksternt filter.
Det er en 12 toms som er reptilrask og har rimelig heftig slam også! Det er ett stort kabinett!
Det er en noe spesiell "horn" mellomtone som er "free air" ...
Spesiellt kan man si.
Selve diskanten har ett slags "traktiks" hornladning.
Dette gir noe "honk" i lydbildet, men det er meget minimalt
Avantgarde har mer "honk" for å si det sånn... (Etter min mening...)

Unveiled in 2003, the J-2001 Mk. 11 draws upon the glorious heritage of the golden era of audio, while incorporating the latest technology and materials.
Handcrafted in Italy, it is the 1st high-sensitivity system of the 3rd millennium!
Aesthetically, the J-2001 MK. 11 is a work of hand-made art representing the finest in Italian craftsmanship. There is enormous attention to detail, because we believe that visual beauty is an important complement to musical beauty.
For example, each cabinet is handcrafted with properly aged plywood, and then assembled using natural glue. Screws are used for internal reinforcement only, allowing us to tune the residual vibration modes. The cabinet is then internally dampened with high quality felt.
Acoustically, the J-2001 MK. 11 creates a stunning, and utterly unique, holographic sound image that is both focused and transparent. The effortless dynamics of the high-efficiency (97dB sensitivity) design translates into a soundstage that is detailed, coherent and harmonically correct.
The result: a truly musical loudspeaker that communicates the soul of music more than you ever thought possible.
The acoustically "live" cabinets are book-matched as left and right speakers, creating a true stereo pair. Each channel is comprised of a bullet supertweeter, a horn-enclosed midrange driver, and a bass driver. Two front-mounted adjustments offer midrange and tweeter level control. The entire unit can be bi-wired and bi-amped, if desired.
The Cabinet:
Handcrafted in properly aged plywood, assembled using only natural glue. Screws used for internal reinforcement only, intended to tune the residual vibration modes .
Absorbent felt used for internal cabinet dampening.
Plywood cabinets, hand-carved in time honored, tradition of European masters like Amati, Guarneri & Stradivari.
Matched left and right design offering true stereo sound and precise imaging.
Edison Price Music Posts; five-way binding post machined from tellurium copper bar stock.
P.G.A bruken av tellurium kopper kan man ikke bruke Nordost kabler på denne typen... det skjer ett eller annet i mellombassen som tilsier at dette ikke er optimalt. Og ja, jeg HAR testet...
The Speakers:
1 PRO bullet supertweeter, with "bullet tweeter" dispersion characteristic, neodymium magnet & titanium diaphragm
Supertweeter high-frequency response is more than one octave above audible threshold for optimal ambience retrieval.
1" midrange driver (titanium diaphragm, aluminum voice coil, neodymium magnet)Mid-frequencies horn is asymmetric directional control type; constructed of aluminum. The driver diaphragm works in open air.
12" PRO woofer (paper diaphragm, copper moving coil, die-cast aluminum basket, foam surround)
The Crossover Network:
12 dB per octave network, hard wired and assembled on composite boardMidrange and high frequencies can be tuned from front panel. Paper and oil capacitors used extensively; double metalized polypropylene (Mil. Std.) also used.
All coils are air core type
All resistors are metal oxide type, non-inductive
Speaker basket ground terminal located on rear panel
Bi-wire/bi-amp connections via rear panel
The Internal Wiring
Woofer wired via S.A.P. CSP-2 coaxial speaker cable
Midrange wired via a double plait of solid core pure copper conductor (0.75 sq. mm each)
Tweeter wired via a single plait of solid core conductor
