Product Description
Introducing the Von Schweikert Audio Endeavor REFERENCE Edition speaker which benefits from ALL of the sonic components (Drivers, crossovers, signal path, binding post, etc.) and performance of the award-winning Endeavor SE, but in an attractive walnut cabinet (similar to the E-3MkII) resulting in a much lower MSRP.
Von Schweikert Audio Endeavor REFERENCE Edition Speaker Fetaures
Featuring advanced speaker components often found in systems many times our price:
- Anodized aluminum woofer cones, Kevlar midrange, and damped Beryllium dome tweeter to ensure highest level of sonic transparency possible.
- REAR AMBIENCE RETRIEVAL DRIVER: To match the transient response and tone quality of the superb front tweeter, we have employed a 75mm ribbon tweeter driven by a Neodymium magnet system for the lowest distortion and widest frequency range we have measured from a 75mm ribbon.
- Top-class measurements with lowest distortion/coloration in its price range.
- Linkwitz-Riley crossover filters ensure correct phase coherence and timing.
- Connections: WBT Next-Gen Gold Bi-Wire binding posts.
Woofers: Two 175mm anodized aluminum coned woofers. Double-stacked magnets provide fast transient response and great dynamics. Faraday ring-type motor/voice coil, cooled with aluminum phase plugs and vented motors for low distortion
Midrange: 165mm Kevlar coned high performance midrange unit with Faraday ring motor/voice coil, phase plug provides linear response and low distortion. Top-class design & sound.
Midrange Loading: Tapered transmission line for low coloration and high dynamic range
Treble Unit: An advanced metal dome tweeter using a Beryllium substrate with ceramic damping layer to eliminate harsh sound quality. Driven by an FEA-designed Neodymium ring magnetic system, the rear wave is absorbed by a specialized rear chamber filled with fiberglass. This new tweeter has the lowest measured distortion of any dome tweeter on the market, cost-no-object.
Voicing Information: The Endeavor Reference Edition is a highly accurate reference quality loudspeaker that was carefully voiced to sound like a musical instrument rather than a “sterile” facsimile. The bass range is extremely potent, yet so quick as to not overload your listening room. The depth, image focus and dimensionality are top-class.
