Veracity HT1-TL overview
Once
we finished the HT2-TL, we asked ourself how a single woofer version of the
same speaker would perform. Since Paul Kittinger designed the SongTower and
HT2-TL cabinets based on the pioneering work of Martin King, we called upon
Paul to work his magic again.
The result is the Veracity HT1-TL, a speaker that far
surpassed our already high expectations.
This design has it all. The world-class LCY pure ribbon
tweeter, a Seas Excel W18, a transmission line cabinet and, of course, an
incomparable Dennis Murphy crossover design. It all comes together in a speaker
with seamless integration from the extremely transparent top end to bass
response down to 34Hz.
The Veracity HT1-TL's frequency response is 34Hz to 60,000Hz
+/- 3db and is essentially ruler-flat from 45Hz to 25,000Hz. It delivers
crystal-clear transparency on the top end, extremely accurate midrange capable
of resolving minute details in the source recording and, at the same time,
delivers deep, musical bass. What's more, it's imaging capabilities are
difficult to put into words.
That may sound too good to be true, but that is what we
hoped for and the results exceeded our high expectations.
