New Salk Loudspeaker- Soundscape JR


Hello I have heard this is a possibility for all of us that may not have $10,000+ to spend on a speaker .This model would have the Raal riboon tweeter,
Accuton 5" ceramic mid driver ,and a very high compliance
8 " woofer in a very similar style Jeff Bagby designed
passive radiator that will do a clean 30 hz in the $6k area.THe cabinet is Jims baby and the crossover Jime talented team. If this is something that may interest you then let Jim know about it ,for Jeffs passive radiator system is the only one that distributes bass evenly.
The other 2 drivers are a dream come true !!

Yes go to Salk sounds website and on top under News
scroll down to the 3drd one Volume 1 issue 2 you will see information on the Soundscape speaker it says passive perfection Jeff Bagby and the whole formula as to how this Highly sophisticated passive Bass system works.
While you are at it read the Whole breakdown for each driver, for the Jr is mainly this speaker . By the way the 12" Soundscape not only beat but destroyed the New Wilson Sasha eveything about it is better .The 10inch driver is a $30k speaker for $10k
If I had the cash I would have bought this in a heart beat
The Jr will get you 95% there for under $6k !!
Audioman,

How did the Soundscape 'destroy' the Wilson Sasha?
I've heard the Sasha and it is very very good.
The drivers are a far better quality for starters . The mdrange is where close to 75% of the music is and the Accuton tweeter is exceptional and far more accurate, and the midranges chanber is tuneable to exactly how airy you want it for your specific application . The sasha is way over priced go listen to a Soundscape speaker and then you will see for yourself .Just go to Salks home page and go to news on top in the 2nd session it tells all about each driver and the build for it very imformative.
The passive Bass system loads the room far better than the wilson without the problems ported bass do and the Woofer is cutom from A&E drivers known for their custom accurate Bass.
Audioman, actually the Accuton is the midrange driver. Salk uses a custom designed RAAL tweeter for the SoundScapes. But you're correct, these drivers are absolutely top flight.

Personally speaking, the SoundScapes are THE finest speaker I've ever heard at any price. They absolutely disappeared during critical (!) listening/auditioning unlike any of the many fine speakers I've auditioned. That said, I've not heard any of the Wilson lineup...but who cares at those prices and with those drivers?!
