warweary Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 So thats a pic of the new i45, and the vaf facebook page is saying 5 new signature speakers. What are they, where's the pictures? Will there be run out prices on old stock? 3
VAF Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) 3 new models and 2 updates. I-93mkIII and I-66mkIII as per website. Significant changes in sound staging and the overall sound, really big sound stage and increased upper bass and mid detail. All from a completely new cross over topology. Also SE versions of both with a new Beryllium tweeter, upgraded cabinet, internal wiring and ultra fast multi layer capacitors in the crossover. The 3 new models are the I-25, 35 and 45. (35 and 45 pictured). We're officially launching these at the Melbourne HiFi show next week. These use our latest magnesium alloy dual concentric drivers. The 1-25 is a stand mount (pictures to come) and uses the same driver as the I-35. The 35 is a two way, very clean and fast sounding speaker with bass to 34Hz. The 45 is a 3 way, same cone materials but the dual concentric driver is a dedicated mid/tweeter and using a proprietary bass driver for bass down to 30Hz. Will have these up on the site v-soon. Oh - no run-outs on old models, however we're doing an introductory 15% on all Signature lines which means 15% on the new mkIII's and the I-25,35,45. Pricing - I-25 $3,895/pr. I-35 $5,495. I-45 $6,895. Edited October 14, 2019 by VAF 3 1

VAF Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 So the I-25 is definitely a jump up from the I-91. Exactly the same size, but with the new coax driver, it's another level. More bass extension but more definition and extension in the top end as well. really liking these new drivers. We'll possibly put it into a more compact cabinet again like the I-90, but at this stage we're just enjoying it as a more full range speaker.
Rhythm Willie Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 Just listened to the I25, the new models are going to be very very good
Dystoria Posted October 20, 2019 Posted October 20, 2019 saw the I45s demoed at the hifi show - they sounded fantastic (even in the noisy chaos of the show). imo these outperformed most other setups with exceptions such as the atcs, spendors and sonus faber (saw everything except the harbeths) but look at the price difference! (if my Heresy IIIs die I'll buy a pair) good luck with sales 1
