      No, it doesn't beam (noticeably), but there's some minor pattern-flip and the 'transition' between the waveformer and the radial horn. I...

      I've also listened to at least 3 systems with Voxativ drivers, including the PureAudioProject Trio15 Voxativ. One can think this up...

      Thomas Blumenhofer's showroom is quite impressive, to say the least: Blumenhofer also builds a 300k monster version of the 2x220...

      The waveformer works amazingly well and those 22 cm woofers are almost seamlessly matched to the ND850 + radial horn. As long as you're...

      Last year's setup was a far cry from 2022; lacking coherence, obvious horn-related issues and lots of bass overhang.

      It's an egg frier and consumes about 350 watts for 50 watts output (8 ohms). Perhaps not pure Class A, but pretty close.
