Description

This system has started only few months ago and is changing every weeks. The main goal is to achieve something very spectacular regarding sound, of course, but also regarding look and design integration to this downtown modern style loft. However, sound quality remain the ultimate goal.

Despite the high complexity of a 4-way system (and 5-way if we include the subwoofer) i was convinced that it would be possible to achieve something great with some work.. Well, a lot of work in fact.

Speakers and room acoustic is my primary concern at this moment. Simply because i believe that these two things are essential to obtain more than a good sounding system; something nothing less than spectacular.

The system is called ''Exploration'' because we are exploring ALL possibilities. Including professional audio for amplifiers and processors, DIY for preamplifiers and speakers and Car audio advanced R&D for the woofers/subwoofers part. It's a try-error-try-got-it project, so it takes time.

Will keep you updated with pictures and comments from time to time.
