Veracity HT1-TL features
the drivers
The HT1-TL's feature two world class drivers in an TM
configuration. The LCY pure ribbon tweeter provides an extremely detailed and
transparent top end. This low mass driver is capable of reproducing minute
detail in the overtone structure of instruments, providing the illusion that
the performers are in the room with you. It is like a crystal clear window into
the sound.
Building on the speed of the LCY tweeter, we selected the
Seas Excel W18 midwoofer. This magnesium-coned driver is also low mass, very
detailed and extremely accurate.
the crossover
Another Dennis Murphy classic, the HT1-TL crossovers provide
seamless integration between these world-class drivers.
the cabinets
Technically described as a quarter wave tube design, the
transmission line cabinets designed by Paul Kittinger are based on the
pioneering work of Martin King. The cabinets take advantage of quarter wave
tuning and allow the W18's to play to a F3 of 34 Hz - incredible extension for
a 7" driver!
When we designed the cabinets, we knew we wanted something
special. So rather than use the standard 3/4" MDF, we used 1" MDF instead. The
extra mass in the cabinet walls, combined with three internal braces, makes for
a very inert and solid cabinet with greatly reduced cabinet resonance.
the sound
To paraphrase an old saying, "for those who have heard
them, no explanation is necessary...for those who have not, none is
possible."
The top end is transparent. The midrange is detailed and
accurate. The bass is musical and impactful. The bass extension is greater than
one would expect from 7" drivers. The integration is seamless. Imaging is
pinpoint. The soundstage is deep and wide. What more can we
say?
