Not only are these heralded as some of the best monitors to ever hit the market for acoustic instruments, they are encased in gorgeous solid hardwood cabinets.

The previous ten years had seen a huge leap in acoustic guitar pickups, mics, and preamps, but there was not a single decent speaker system for acoustic instruments.

For me, what makes music come alive tonally is akin to what makes a great guitar stand apart, and to my ear, far too many speakers damp out these subtleties in their search for a clean 'pure' tone. My philosophy dictates that those subtleties are necessary for an accurate reproduction, the challenge for me is to not add any resonance or harmonics yet allow the instrument's resonances and harmonics to come through effortlessly and without coloration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eToday:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eOur speakers are among the finest in the world at any price and are essentially artisan-made commissioned works.
