hi-end monitor speaker system
|


Mini-monitors (have) a long tradition in music reproduction. Some audiophiles have been using them due to a limited listening room space and a limited budget. However, others with quite substantial financial resources still decide to prefer monitors to floorstanders. Why do they?
Smaller dimensions make speaker system as close to the point source of sound as possible. Reproduction of space, focusing of musical instruments, lack of midrange coloration are the distinctive features of monitors. Moreover, a relatively short distance between the speakers as well as that of the cabinet walls make it for a faster and better controlled bass response.
On the other hand, monitors have their intrinsic limitations such as dynamic range, bass response and impact which are far from possibilities of floor standing speakers.
While designing “Holography” we had predominantly one thing in mind, how to achieve the best aspects of monitor sound reproduction and break its limitations without having to compromise too much. As a result we created a small speaker which does not demand a spacious room and provides a big sound and has, we hope, a reasonably high ‘wife acceptance factor”.
From a wide range of drivers we selected the best possible pair. The ribbon type tweeter provided by American Raven. This unique driver is applied by a few speaker manufacturers only in extremely expensive systems. An ultra-thin aluminum ribbon, works as coil and diaphragm weighing much less than the moving air ( around 8 mg ), In consequence the driver, if expertly applied, is able to perfectly reproduce subtle sounds, associated with timbre, reverb, and a rich palette of harmonic structure of living sound.
The German made Eton midrange woofer is also exceptional with its unusual sandwich diaphragm. Two layers of Kevlar are connected by honeycomb Nomex structure that constitutes an ultra light and stiff composite also used in aerospace projects and formula1 race cars. Speaker is free of resonance, and makes excellent impact, both on bass and mid band.
The speakers cabinets were also specially designed for its. Internal reinforcement made up of marble and ceramic plates fixed to the inside of the cabinet to make the whole structure exceptionally rigid and stable. Finished with natural veneer, speaker cabinet sports a traditional look and mechanical features allowing for resonance-free and dynamic sound.
Dynamic and spacious reproduction is the key factor to make a big sound. Physics laws (size and displacement of diaphragm) limit a constant bass response but the possibility of excellent bass impact reproduction can evoke larger sound impression that the dimension of the overall cabinet size might suggest.
