Veracity HT2-TL features

the drivers

The HT2-TL's feature two world class drivers in an MTM 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 a pair of Seas Excel W18 midwoofers. These magnesium-coned drivers are also low mass, very detailed and extremely accurate.

the crossover

Another Dennis Murphy classic, the HT2-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 32 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 two internal braces, makes for a very inert and solid cabinet with greatly reduced cabinet resonance. Each of the cabinets weighs in at 87 pounds! (The design, of course, can be built with 3/4" MDF to reduce the depth from 17" to 14" upon request.)

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?
