Sculptures

Loudspeakers

Has anyone ever seen a flat, square surface acoustic musical instrument ?

CH Audio Design Sculptures Loudspeakers, with Altec 288 high frequency and 515 low frequency drivers.
A fully horn loaded two way system.

 Using the ceiling and adjacent walls as extensions of the horn together with an anti-resonant tuned all cork padded chamber, and a special calculated shaped conical horn, a very low frequency response in a relatively small enclosure is achieved, crossed at 500 Hz. in a two way system, the front mid-bass horn takes care of the mid bass while the lower non directional low frequencies are directed towards the ceiling, that is, the ceiling and adjacent walls act as an extension to the low frequency horn. The lower frequencies not been directional in nature do not source a particular spot or area but feel as coming from everywhere. Bass is not restrained to floors!
They may be placed anywhere in the room not necessarily a corner speaker.
 
Big Speaker, Big sound !
Same experience with the high frequency multicellular "hear things that were not there before" !

 






Ever wonder where the pipes are pointed in a pipe organ ?
How fulfilling and deep the bass is!
 Compounded curves design with cork underlie, avoiding Eigentone resonances.
465 pieces of wood (483 with the CH1505BW full lobed version) are carefully measured, cut, shaped, hand sanded and glued together to form one and each complete Sculpture loudspeaker ! then and finally, hand sanded to finish, stained and finished in natural shellac. All stainless steel hardware, nothing will oxidize with time.

How may I explain with words the magnificent and grandiose sound they reproduce!

I can no longer go through life without a pair in my living room.!!! Once experienced, you will agree!

Yes, they sound as good as they are!   Big!

All hand-crafted with great attention to detail

Presented here in two tones, Rose wood and clear Shellac finish. Cork covered mid-bass horn.


Main Body
