medieval cathedral, yet strikingly modern or even Art Deco, it has vertically fluted,
curved sides and is finished in semi gloss black and Blackwood veneer face -- unique!
The cabinet is much more inert and has a surprisingly big sound stage and extended musical bass with
its practical Transmission Line design, and the sort of refined studio
performance you would expect after seeing its beautiful stylish
appearance.

a new range of drivers. It is fast, accurate, extended, and above all,
has that wonderful quality of faithfully, lucidly recreating a live
sound stage to envelope you in either a stereo or home theatre
system. Huge presence, efficient, clean and accurate, fabulous bass, these
Artisans are comparable to and more natural sounding than other brands
costing much more. A refined listening experience.
