These are the four-way speakers that provide the clearest
three-dimensional soundstage performance available. Made in England by
Bowers & Wilkins, regarded as the world's leading innovator of
speaker technology, they deliver optimal sound quality by eliminating
cabinet coloration-the unwanted sound that radiates from the back of a
speaker driver. Mathematically precise, tapering wave-guiding tubes
house each unit's 1" and 2" tweeters and 4" mid-range driver.
Rear-traveling sound waves are channeled, absorbed, and dampened,
resulting in pure sound coming from the front and none from the back-the
pattern of vibration is verified to within 1/3000th of a millimeter
using laser-doppler velocimetry. Each has a powerful 12" bass driver
housed in a curved, spiral-shaped tube that allows sound waves to travel
its length without reflection. The speakers' active crossover network
frees each driver to operate purely in its own frequency band (unlike
typical passive crossover designs) for sound that is crisper, clearer,
and more vibrant. Requires four separate amplifiers per speaker (not
included). Their enclosures are handmade from fiberglass-reinforced ABS
for durability and finished with the same paint and lacquer system used
for German luxury automobiles. Black, Blue, or Silver. Special
conditions and guarantee limitations apply. 43 1/2" H x 17" W x 43 1/2"
