wolp Posted August 10, 2021 Posted August 10, 2021 If you are looking for the ultimate speaker, the most advanced design offered by the late great Siegried Linkwitz, then you need to look no further than the LX521. Complete with SEAS (from Norway) drivers. These speakers were originally offered only as a kit. These speakers are made of painted high quality Baltic Birch and CNC machined for precision. The bridge section holding the midrange, upper mid-range and tweeters is lead lined for extra stability. The separable bass units are constructed using tongue and groove technique. Kits can be purchased fully constructed but they are over $16,000. Price includes, both left and right speakers, speaker cables, 4 way ASP (active analogue signal processor), all interconnects between the ASP and power amplifiers using the highest quality Japanese Canare cable and gold plated RCAs. The ASP did not come with the original kit, it was purchased separately. It improves the sound considerably over the miniDSP (digital signal processor) which was provided with the kit. Bass units use the latest SEAS L26R04Y Aluminium cone woofers. Outside Dimensions(mm): 1251 (H) x 406 (W) x 380 (D at bottom) These are the best loudspeakers I have ever heard! In particular the spatial characteristics (“box-less” sound) and the bass is sensational. If you were to purchase all the individual items in kit form plus the continually rising cost of freight (total weight of speakers is 85kg) the price would be well over $6500, and you would still have to construct and paint! About the LX521 from Siegfried Linkwitz: "For many years now I have refined, lived with and enjoyed the ORION (2002) and PLUTO (2005) loudspeakers. 4 1
AudioGeek Posted August 10, 2021 Posted August 10, 2021 @frednork - this is what you are looking for! Iam assuming the OAD amps are not included? Thats a really sweet looking setup, and nice space. Will be very hard to replace these! GLWS 1
