Ferro-fluid cooled and damped. This next generation technology material yields improved sonic performance through enhanced rigidity. The stunning G-PALTM tweeter, combined with the silvery aluminum hue of the new cones and bronze-anodized cast-aluminum parts, makes for a gorgeous new look. The curved grille cover has very sheer black fabric for full acoustic transparency over a skeletal plastic frame, with some attention around its inner periphery paid to diffraction control. At rear we find quite luxurious looking binding posts, all gold plated except for the clear hard plastic nuts. They are bi-wire, with substantial gold-plated linking straps. This is gradual, about 5 dB from 1 to 10 kHz, and continues above, with no peaks or dips, which is important for good timbral balance; listeners who choose to augment the highs will do so with most tone controls in a way that does not cause any untoward peaks and dips because response is so smooth to start with. And this real smoothness is seldom seen in smaller speakers, especially those that are not expensive models. Not that the Studio 20 v. Boundary augmentation can help this little speaker produce very extended, tight deep bass, though placement will be a little critical to control the mid-bass bloom. In listening, I remembered these speakers in their earlier incarnation as those which had served as location studio monitors on our , just a few years back. And here we have an even better animal, the tweeter more precise and clean, and the overall sound again of true monitor quality. And that includes soundstaging, as the Studio 20 V4 presents a lifelike image with excellent depth, as well as pinpoint lateral stereo placement of music sources, the measured moderate phase error of no concern sonically. By the picture, 6 inch cone MAYBE. Why do they insist on being so specious? Bump in the midrange. I would love to see what they look like with the port sealed as I run mine. I have used it for many outdoor recordings and also, for several years, as a home recorder. I Need A Remote control For it.. PLEASE Email me if you have one for sale thank you? Otherwise, they are a great value...
