the HT2 drivers

LCY

The HT2's utilize the LCY ribbon tweeter, an extremely low-mass driver that is significantly faster than a traditional dome tweeter. As such, it can faithfully track instantaneous transients in music or cinema sound, resulting is a level of high-end detail that simply must be heard to be appreciated.

Ribbon tweeters are known both for their incredible speed. This is due to the fact that they are able to reproduce detail far above audible frequencies. The LCY tweeter, for example, is down only 3db at 60,000Hz. While these frequencies are obviously not audible, it does mean that the LCY can reproduce extreme detail in the overtone structures of instruments very accurately. The result is very natural and realistic reproduction.

In addition, the LCY has excellent vertical and horizontal dispersion characteristics rivaling the best traditional dome tweeters.

W18EX

A tweeter as detailed and accurate as the LCY requires a mid-woofer capable of a high level of detail. We chose the high-sensitivity version of the Seas W18 mid/woofer from their top-tier Excel performance line. This low-mass magnesium cone driver is among the most dynamic and detailed midrange drivers available. It is a perfect complement to the speed of the LCY tweeter. And the fact that a pair of them share the load results in a higher sensitivity speaker with lower distortion.
