How your brain influences what you hear
Browse through any audio web site and you will likely find posts
with comments like, “I just purchased speaker cables and could not
believe how they improved imaging.” Or, “These crossover caps

After reading such rave reviews, you may feel inclined to open your
wallet and “drink the kool-aid.” And if you do, chances are very

Ellis 1801 TL
We have been producing Dave Ellis' 1801 design for
quite a few years. In fact, it is one of a very few
non-Salk designs we have promoted over the years. This is
because we feel it is a very good speaker.
With the introduction of the HT1-TL's complete, we realized that the Ellis 1801's use the
same Seas Excel W18 midwoofer. Which means the HT1-TL cabinet would work perfectly for
the Ellis 1801. So I asked Dave how he would feel about us introducing a TL version of his
well-respected design. His response..."go for it."
So we built a pair and Dennis Murphy tweaked the crossover for this new model. While it is
not a Veracity model, we have included it in the Veracity line-up as we consider it to be the
same breed of speaker. This new design is available now.
