After almost two years in development, the new era
towers are now shipping. Each have their own purpose and application to meet
individual placement needs. Special attention was paid to the crossovers and
build quality and they are more efficient than previous models as well. Both are available in real Cherry and Rosewood veneers and are designed to look as good
as they sound. With our proprietary drivers , the dense well-braced
cabinets, and the (over the top) high-end X-Overs ,
we’re offering the best European style and performance speakers at less than
half the price of our competition. OK…OK…so we’ve always offered that, but with
the D10 and the D14 we make that statement even bolder.
The D14 is a true 3-way design which
also uses air core inductors and Sonicaps in the X-Over. Therefore, mid and high
frequency performance will surpass the D4, and the bass extension goes down to
the high 30’s in a real world listening environment. It is 38 ½” tall X 13” deep
X 7” wide. We use a tuned slot in the rear, so in most cases you’ll want to
place it at least 2’ out from the wall. This will give you realistic depth
perception placing voice and instruments in the space they belong rendering a
very realistic sound stage. The D14 is an 8 ohm speaker that is very easy to
drive at 88.5db efficiency. Extensive internal bracing is used to reduce
resonances allowing all of the energy from the speaker to resonate throughout
their listening environment. The D14 weighs almost 60 lbs each!
For
theater applications, we recommend the D4 LCR center channel.
