The EXP-8 is a potent, compact (11.5 X 11.5 X 11.5 inches), self- powered, acoustic suspension subwoofer system designed for high-end music and home theater systems. It uses a custom long-throw 8 inch paper cone woofer and a 300 watt full featured amplifier to produce fast, accurate bass response.

TheEXP-8 bass is exquisite and extended with extremely accurate transient response. Not the one note samba delivered by most subwoofers.

The acoustic suspension design and forward facing driver produces faster, more coherent, and more extended bass response and allows the subwoofer to be placed close to walls.

The gutsy full-featured 300 watt RMS amplifier with volume, variable crossover, and 360 degree variable phase control allows the EXP-8 to provide an exceptional level of performance and flexibility.

It is available in satin black, Price $595.

The Model 30M has been upgraded with a sweet sounding clear cone 7.5 inch TPX concentric driver array.

Although expensive, TPX is one of the best sounding cone materials available. The previous 6.5 inch concentric driver array that was used in the 30M was legendary for its musicality, imaging, and soundstaging. The new driver array features an elaborately reinforced driver basket that improves imaging stability and reduces cone distortion. Coupled with the new TPX cone material, the new driver array makes the 30M provide a even more engaging, sophisticated, musical performance, featuring an even more detailed and exteded soundstage.

The new Jamaica speaker system is a powerful speaker that can replace many monolith speakers.

 As of December 2017, all Chorus speakers feature TL-ABC transmission line tuning. Changes in the demensions of the Chorus cabinet have also been made. TL-ABC is a way of lowering bass response by fine tuning the transmission line's response by adding a device (TL-ABC) to the end of the transmission line. TL-ABC can lower bass response by as much as one octave. For example, if the low bass response of a speaker is 50 Hz, TL-ABC can potentially lower its bass response to 25 Hz.  As a result the TL-ABC application, the latest Chorus  has noticeably more lower base than the previous model. TL-ABC is proprietary NSMT Loudspeaker technology.
