This speaker combines a woofer that is on the floor in a flattish enclosure, which also acts as a base for a column that supports a small cast-iron-enclosed Jern speaker. This unusual but graceful looking system, while intended for smaller rooms (limited volume capability), offers a well-balanced sound of extraordinary quality, combining the clarity resulting from an essentially dead enclosure (among the deadest and most rigid ever) with minimized diffraction from the curved shape of the box. The result is, within its dynamic range limitations, an almost uniquely transparent clarity and absence of background noise, as well as striking coherence and good bass extension for such a small speaker. It is very like a non-speaker speaker, reproducing the input with nothing added at all. It is something that should be heard by everyone interested in loudspeaker audio. (Forthcoming)
