It is an interesting system and with promising specification with 105db/W.

They had been for 14 years with making Analysis Audio Planar speakers.



Factory direct price of 24,000$ but with no return.

I shall find way to audition it.

I wish to get opinion from our members on the specification of this system.

105db/watt from a line array! Keep dreaming!

Sounds like marketing hype! Go listen instead to the new Carver line array. He has more credibility, for sure!

 Custom
neodymium magnets weighing just under one pound are used for each driver.

That is the claim for high efficiency and I want to confirm whether it is true.

But if so, it is a really nice system for SET amplifier.

It will be nice if some member living near Charlotte, NC audition this speaker to confirm efficiency and sound quality of sound.

Mike of Arionaudio claims that it can drive tower section with 2 or 3 watts 2A3 tube amplifier with enough sound in big showroom.

I am more intrigued by this speaker.

It is too bad that music playing is just plain.

I will audition it Mid January next year.
