@mikepowellaudio - I’m glad you represent these speakers in the USA, Mikey. I came across them from a guy down under in Australia who has them paired with a SoulNote Dac and Amp. Yes, over YouTube, but they sounded amazing.

The SN70 look like great standmounts for the price. https://the-ear.net/review-hardware/fischer-and-fischer-sn70-hard-speakers/ |
today there are many ultra dense non mdf loudspeakers out there
we import the Jern loudspeakers from Denmark they have probably the most inert cabinets on the planet they are tiny although extremely heavy they range from 25lbs to 75 lbs depending on the model their cabinets are cast iron and graphite
The combination of the Jern 14 ES and REL T5/i is as close to a perfect speaker as you could get for this price. They do nothing wrong and set standards in terms of soundstage, three-dimensionality, neutrality, and clarity far beyond their price range. The already excellent bass quality can be further enhanced by adding a second subwoofer, if desired. The fact that the ensemble also looks really good and is easy to place is a welcome addition.
so aside from slate you have loudspeakers made from rock, cast iron and carbon fiber to look at from Acora, Jern, Rockport respectively.

There are a few speaker manufacturers using concrete, steel, marble, granite and other exotic materials for the cabinets, to control resonances. But one thing they all these materials do is ring, at varying frequencies - depending on the material used. This is where slate would seem to have an advantage, it is by nature a constrained layer speaker cabinet, hundreds of minute layers deposited over eons. It would seem to be the perfect speaker enclosure material due to its damping capability. |
