Ellis 1801
over-the-top performance in a stand-mount
speaker
Designed by David Ellis, the Ellis 1801's feature two
of the world's highest performance drivers and a crossover design by Dennis
Murphy.
The woofer is the Seas W18 magnesium driver from their
Excel performance line. This low-mass driver delivers tight bass response that
is a perfect complement to the dynamics of the OW1 tweeter.
The tweeters are Hiquphon's OW1, almost universally
regarded as the finest traditional tweeters in the world. They are hand made in
Denmark by Oscar Wroending, who has dedicated his life to producing
cutting-edge, high performance tweeters. Each is personally tested by Oscar and
furnished in matched pairs complete with performance documentation stamped and
signed by the master himself.
The 1801 cabinet is also top shelf. It features two
internal braces and a front baffle that is 1 1/2" thick. Each cabinet weighs
approximately 35 pounds! This massive cabinet design practically eliminates
cabinet resonances that can muddy the sound.
Crossover component are among the finest currently
available.
The 1801's can be bi-wired or bi-amped at your option.
