Love the look of these speakers ( I am sorely tempted to powder coat my custom made stands that colour) :
Somebodies are going to have a hissy fit with : designed ?totally by ear,?
Tetra Speakers, which hails from Canada?s capital, Ottawa, was showing their Phoenix 707 loudspeaker, priced at $78,000/pr. in Canada and the US. The Phoenix features a 10? woofer, a 4? dome midrange, and a ribbon tweeter that looked about 3? high. The curved cabinet is made entirely of MDF, with the entire speaker said to weigh 120 pounds. According to Adrian Butts, Tetra?s founder and chief designer, the crossover was designed ?totally by ear,? and is a balanced configuration. He said that the Phoenix 707 has a sensitivity spec of 93dB, which not only seems awfully high, it would mean the EMM Labs MTRX2 mono amps driving them were barely working at all -- they?re capable of 500W each into 8 ohms, doubling in power output into 4 ohms.
