The Story

Bruce Robertson wanted an MTM design. At the time, we didn't offer it. But at about the same time, another customer requested the same thing (but in a sealed, stand-mounted version). So I thought it was time to design a new Veracity model called the HT2.

Bruce actually ordered three of these for use in his home theater. He had some very specific requirements (max. 39" tall, etc.) which resulted in a one-of-a-kind project.

He wanted santos rosewood, but wanted it more on the red side to match his decor. So after veneering the cabinets, we used multiple coats of red aniline dye to adjust the color to meet his needs.

After spending a little time with them, Bruce reported, "These are terrific speakers! As others have commented, the imaging is outstanding. The HT2s have terrific detail and "tonality", without being analytical or tiring. Layered voices and layered instruments are clearly delineated. "Air" and "acoustic" properties are clearly conveyed. The pluck and shimmer and speed of real music in real spaces comes through clearly. Finally, I've noted zero issues with volume or compression. They play very loadly with little strain."

"Overall, I highly recommend these units. I suspect that when I do replace them (I usually live with a set for a couple of years and then move on) it will be with giant line arrays or something similar, because I can't imagine other tradtional box speakers really bettering them in any important respect."

Happy listening Bruce!

What's next?

Something really cherry. Stay tuned...
