We are pleased to introduce a passive version of the Model 100. We have long thought about how we could reduce the price of entry for our much heralded Model 100.

 The passive Model 100 is essentially the same as the Model 100 with the exception that the subwoofer is passive. The performance specifications are roughly the same as those for  the active Model 100 set to our recommended settings. In addition, the passive Model 100 is designed  so that the active subwoofer feature can be added later.

In general, the price of the passive Model 100 is $2,000 per pair less then the Model 100s with active subwoofers. The prices are: $9,995 for black and light wood, $10,495 for natural birch plywood or red birch plywood, and $10,995 for sapele plywood. Other finishes  and options are available at additional cost. Kindly email us if you have questions.

You may be struck by our temerity to name this speaker Clairvoyant -- which  means the ability to see beyond normal perception. In speaker terms, we mean that this speaker has higher resolution and better performance than just about any speaker available, including our own highly critically acclaimed Model 100. You can read the critical acclaim and accolades for the Model 100 here. Already, accolades are coming in from the few people that have heard the Clairvoyant.  "...they compete with anything on the market today, regardless of price." (Terry London, Audiogon) A dealer remarked that, "I didn't think these would surpass the Model 100 speakers... You nailed it." However we are offering the Clairvoyant monitor at the aggressive introductory price of $7,495, the system one (see below) at $,11,950 and the System Two at $15,985.

The Absolute Sound's review of the Model 15SE which was published in the hard copy Absolute Sound magazine's April issue is now on line here. Many thanks to Steven Stone and the Absolute Sound staff for the review.

The review is a testament to just how right the latest evolution of the Model 15SE is. The Absolute sound describes the Model 15SE as a high end bargain.

Some snippets from Steven Stones' review:

"If I had to sum up the sound of the 15SE in one word it would be "right."

"The Model 15SE is more even in the lower midrange and upper bass than the LS3/5A."

"... the 15SE's upper frequency response managed to be resolving without sounding bright, and airy without sounding shrill."

"... it got me s close to the music as any system I've heard--whether room or nearfield."

" to my ears, the Model 15SE not only gets the lateral placement correct but also delivers the dimensional cues and boundaries of sources in an especially three-dimensional manner."

"... the 15SE will generate an extremely exciting soundfield."

Many thanks to Terry London and Stereo Times for their review of the Model 75. Regarding the petite Model 75's ability to play large rooms, Terry notes that:

"Even in (his) massive listening space (30' wide by 30' deep by 25' high), this petite-sized speaker effortly preassurized the room with taut percussive bass frequencies."

Announcing our flagship subwoofer. The Bass Foundation Subwoofer Duo is a double bandpass subwoofer that is designed to load the listening space with unmatched fast, powerful, accurate, articulate bass better than alternative designs of similar size and price..

Frequency response: Variable 22 - 145 Hz

Dimensions: 12 X  36 X 15 inches (W X H X D)

Price $4,495. Promotional price until April 30, 2022: $3,495

The new Model 15SE is a two-way, minimum phase, time coherent loudspeaker system that improves on the previous by using a crossover-less broad band woofer and time coherent tweeter to reproduce music with the kind of ease, coherence, and exhilaration, that few loudspeakers can match.

Because the woofer covers 55 Hz to 7,500 Hz, the fundamental frequency range of  most instruments and voices, there are no crossover induced phase or frequency abnormalities to color the sound in the most significant part of the audio spectrum. The tweeter's output is seamlessly integrated with the woofer's with a 6 dB crossover to cover the harmonics of instruments and voices beyond 7,500 Hz.
