THE S2 LOUDSPEAKER
Newly redesigned around our latest Nova Type D driver, the S2x elevates the original S2 to new, breathtaking levels of performance. Every facet of the S2 design and Nova driver were revisited, with key performance gains in the drivers, cabinetry, wiring, and crossovers.
The Nova Type D is specifically for open baffle applications, leveraging the acoustic transparency of its driver suspension. It incorporates a novel, rear-firing whizzer which contributes to superb tonal balance and energy. As part of the point source driver, the rear whizzer does not suffer from multi-way phase or timing issues. That benefit translates into a wonderful sense of live musical performance, with outstanding imaging and soundstage width and depth.
Below 120Hz, the Nova is assisted by an Acoustic Elegance LO15 woofer, now modified with a solid copper phase plug for even lower inductance and greater accuracy. It is "port constrained" in the front, and employs an open, folded baffle design in the back. These design features lower free resonance, increase efficiency, and reduce wave cancellations for rich overall bass presentation. Dual binding posts offer the option to run bridged, or to bi-amp for large listening spaces.
