Unique speakers – great quality. Rare as hens teeth….
Pristine condition. We have replaced the grille cloth only (dark brown used)- everything else was already perfect.
Axent Audio created several designs in attempt to ‘break into’ the international speaker market. These are one of a few ‘Transmission Line’ designs that they did.
Transmission Line is a term used to describe a speaker cabinet design that utilises the bass frequencies within the speaker cabinet itself – this ‘sound pressure’ is funneled through a horn type path & a couple of bends. This has the effect of filtering out everything but the lowest of bass frequencies – the remaining sound escapes via the large vent in the bottom of the cabinet – overall this improves the frequency response of the speakers right down to sub-sonic levels. The end result is a full, rich sound with warm detail. Very nice!
Great speaker driver units used – manufactured by Philips in Holland late seventies / early eighties. These speaker ‘kits’ were used by many manufacturers including Bang & Olufsen.
