Since its introduction, the Veracity
HT3's have become our top-selling model. But the drivers are quite
expensive and there is an incredible amount of labor that goes into every HT3
cabinet.
We often wondered
if we could find alternative drivers and simplify cabinet construction (to
reduce labor) to develop a speaker that provides similar performance at a lower
cost. If so, it would certainly be a price-performance leader.
Dennis Murphy had heard good things about the 4" Visaton
TI 100 midrange and suggested we take a look. If it measured well, it just
might be what we were looking for. And sure enough, it measured extremely flat.
Since we obtained great results with the LCY pure ribbon
tweeter in the Veracity HT2's, we decided to throw that
into the mix.
The only remaining question was the woofer. We
considered an 8" TC Sounds woofer similar to the 10" version in the HT3's, but
the sensitivity of the 8" was simply too low. Then we noticed that Visaton also
offered 8" woofers. So we thought we'd give them a try.
The combined results were very impressive indeed.
As
indicated in this plot , the frequency response was ruler flat (within 1
1/2 db from 35Hz to 25,000Hz).
The V3's frequency response is 32Hz to 60,000Hz +/- 3db.
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, tuneful bass. What's more, it's imaging
capabilities are difficult to put into words.
Check out the V3's
specifications/cost.
That may sound too good to be true, but those are the
goals we used to develop this world-class speaker system. And the results were
better than we expected.
In short, the V3's faithfully and truthfully render the
highest quality full-range sound your source equipment is capable of providing.
