Like shinjitsuaudio I am quite curious about how they protect the tweeters without a crossover network or at least a capacitor.

Hello @kingharold,

I spent quite a bit of time at Axpona 2024 asking (a lot of!) technical questions of the very nice guy of Namec introducing the Grandinote system (Mach 8XL speakers, Solo integrated, Sota Cosmos turntable, all connected via pure silver KimberKable cabling 😍). 

He told me that all Grandinote Mach speakers use custom full-range drivers with a "mechanical crossover" used to gently attenuate high frequencies from the drivers without using reactive components (such as inductors) while the super tweeters only use a cap to protect them from damage (but operate at very high frequencies).

For your information, the system sounded wonderful to my ears...unlimited dynamics, extremely clean and fast bass, ethereal vocals and delicate highs...I really can't imagine anything better for the hi-end system of my dreams...

If you live close to Chicago, I can warmly advice to check the Namec website and ask to have a private demo...It can truly be a sensory experience! 

Some reaction videos I found on youtube about the Grandinote rooms 😍 (both for Florida Audio Expo and Axpona 2024).

 

 

Have a good listening!
