    Bayz Audio Counterpoint 2.0 >>>>Rhapsody.Audio

    Hi Rob181, In general vague descriptors, in what region of the world do you reside? BAYZ Audio participates in shows around the world. While Dartzeel-BAYZ Audio combination cannot not be guaranteed, you might be able to audition BAYZ Audio Counterpoint or Courante or the debut of a new model...

    Bayz Audio Counterpoint 2.0 >>>>Rhapsody.Audio

    Hi Emperyan, The carbon fiber versions (Counterpoint CF and Courante CF) are clear-coated; however, either version can be painted in any RAL color the customer desires. The Counterpoint and Courante Piano Black version are glass fiber construction. The rigidity of the enclosure is a...

    Hi Emperyan, The questions you ask are very good and apply to all ported loudspeakers. At the mid- and high frequencies, your questions apply to all sealed loudspeakers too. Yes, you are correct. When a driver produces a positive sound pressure in the room, it is simultaneously producing a...

    Emperyan, I will do my best to explain the unique and advanced operation of the Bayz Audio speakers. When the Courante or Counterpoint receives a signal at mid-frequencies, the lower woofer's cone moves vertically upward and the top woofer's cone moves vertically downward combining to...

    What works for omnidirectional speakers?

    Emperyan, With 47 SqM, Bayz Audio will sound exceptional. The Courantes were exhibited in Sweden in 100 SqM with no problems, had plenty of SPL, and they sounded incredible! Use of diffraction will yield a euphoric experience and will more closely resemble a live performance. But...

    No, they are slightly different: the BRS tweeter in the Courante and the Counterpoint are the exact same technologies and materials; the only difference is the height.

    Although no one asked, I thought I'd share information about measurements and microhones. Look at this measurment of the Bayz Audio Courante tweeter at 2 kHz and 40 kHz. First, notice that the BRS tweeter is flat to 50 kHz. Because of physics, a 1/8" diameter microphone must be used for...

    Hi adyc: Bayz Audio loudspeaker systems are designed to be omni directional in the entire frequency band all the way to 40 khz. The plot shown in the website is the original BRS only at 1 kHz. This is the polar response of the latest version of the Courante BRS tweeter with the listener at...

    Having not auditioned the speakers shown in the picture, Bayz Audio has no “hands on” experience to share. It’s comparing “apples-and-oranges” and will largely depend on personal preference.

    Hi John57. My role at Bayz Audio is consultant, both technical and marketing. This is very broad and covers new products/designs, proper installations, target markets, presenting at exhibitions, and other miscellaneous tasks including English translations (although Zoltan's English is very...

    An excellent and very informative article! As former President, VP, and BoD member of the business-to-business only Association of Loudspeaker Manufacturers and Acoustics International (ALMA), our industry professionals used to joke about claims of some "new revolutionary design." In reality...

    Bob, can you please share your insight and experience with tubes vs SS in driving the Counterpoints and Courante? Is one better than the other or did both provide good results? What would you consider minimum power? Thanks!

    Also note the prototype Bayz Audio 100W class A amp which uses patented technologies. We were not going to produce amps until everyone went crazy over the amp so, we will be releasing an amp and pre-amp in the near future.

    Thank you for posting the video. Were you at HiFi Deluxe? If yes, what is your impression of the Courante and/or Counterpoint? Too bad people were talking during the audition but I think you can still hear the realism.
