Due to the many requests we've received, the Veracity
HTC center channel was developed to perfectly complement the Veracity HT1, HT2,
HT3 and QW models.
For those who cannot use the vertically-oriented HT1,
HT2, HT3 or QW models for center channel use, or require a shielded center
channel for use with a direct-view television, the Veracity HTC is the perfect
answer. (Those who can use an HT1, HT2, HT3 or QW for the center channel should
do so.)
the design
- - The Veracity HTC features the same basic drivers as
the HT1 and QW. The only difference is that it utilizes a shielded version of
the W18.
- - Since a center channel is often backed up to the wall
or installed in a cabinet, a ported design is not optimum. For that reason, the
Veracity HTC was designed as a sealed speaker.
- - The Veracity HTC was designed in the classic MTM
alignment with a pair of shielded W18's and the incomparable G2 pure ribbon
tweeter.
- - Utilizing two W18's results in lower distortion and
very clean and articulate midrange...very important, since all soundtrack
dialog is generally panned to the center channel.
- - The G2 version in the HTC features a rectangular
faceplate. This was chosen to allow closer spacing between the W18's, resulting
in a more uniform response in the horizontal plane. So no matter where you are
seated, you will hear virtually the same response.
- - Due to the fact that two w18's were used, this is a 4
ohm speaker.
In short, the HTC is a perfect compliment when either
the Veracity HT1 or Veracity QW are used as left and right main speakers. The
HTC will faithfully and truthfully render the highest quality sound your source
equipment is capable of providing.
As Jerry Bix, owner of the first Veracity HTC reported,
"It sounds great. Sometimes I have to pinch myself to think that I actually
have this system."
Veracity HTC pricing
Normally, center channel speakers of this quality retail
from $1800.00 to $2500.00 or more, depending on the finish. But because these
are custom-crafted and you are purchasing direct, you can expect to pay
considerably less. HTC pricing starts at $1599.00, finished in a standard
veneer with a black satin lacquer front baffle.
