We just updated our web site with three new models (one of which has been in production for a few months although we never "officially" announced it).
Song3-AFirst up, the Song3-A. This is basically a Song3 with an upgraded Accuton midrange. Here are some pictures...
We will be showing this pair at AXPONA 2017 (April 21 - 23 in Chicago) in room 408 with Schiit Audio. We chose a white version of the Satori woofer for this design, although it is available in black as well. This speaker was done in Hawaiian koa with a hand-rubbed, high-gloss finish. Here is a close-up...
Song3 EncoreNext up, we have the Song3 Encore. This version started with the new 9.5" Satori woofer. After Satori announced this woofer, we waited about six months for it to become available and picked up the first pair we could get our hands on.
As long as we were looking to utilize a new woofer, we thought we'd take a look at the new Eton midrange from Germany as well. We had heard a lot about this driver and all the reports turned out to be true. The cone material is magnesium, but Eton laser cut a series of holes in the cone and back-coat it to reduce cone resonance. It worked. Here is a a close-up of the midrange and tweeter...
Here is a picture of the speaker as a whole...
These were done in curly walnut with an espresso dye.
We will be introducing this model at AXPONA 2017 in the State Room on the Lower Level. We will be showing with Exogal, Wells Audio, Gingko Audio, Jack Bybee and Dana Cables.
SongSurround PlusFinally, we have the SongSurround Plus. A customer described his ideal speaker and it sounded a lot like the PowerPlay Monitors we introduced to a positive reception at AXPONA last year. So we thought we should do a version of the same speaker, but with passive crossovers.
Here is a picture of the resulting speaker...
We'd love to have a pair of these to bring to AXPONA, but this is the first production pair we just finished for a customer. So we'll have to build another demo pair for a future show. All I can say is they sound almost exactly like the PowerPlay Monitors which we love.
Happy listening...
