Western Acoustics in Milan 💫

 

Something cool from Liam Porr of Western Acoustics:

We have rarely had products available in Europe, but we have one pair of Type 1 speakers and two pairs of Type 2 speakers available at a discount that we used for Milan Design Week at Alcova Milano.

This show was a rare opportunity for us to show our work to thousands of ears. Even in unideal listening conditions outdoors, we received tremendous positive feedback about the audio quality of our Type 1 and 2 speakers. It comes as a relief to know that what sounds true to our ears translates to others as well.

The Type 1 is a large, high efficiency speaker with two 12" Japanese woofers from Fostex, and a 1.4" compression driver from SB Acoustics loading a custom bi-radial horn designed by Joseph Crowe. The Type 2 is a bookshelf speaker containing a 6.5" Danish woofer from Purifi's now-famous USHINDI series of ultra low distortion woofers, and a 1" Italian compression driver from FatalPro, loaded into a custom spherical-wave horn derived from the work of WW2-era German cinema speaker company Klangfilm. Both speakers are powered by an active DSP amplifier from Dutch company Hypex Electronics.

The Type 2 is a (much) smaller, compact and more affordable loudspeaker, with quite interesting technical and acoustic features.

I wish to Liam and his company the very best!
