PEAK-CONSULT EMPRESS VII : AN ASTONISHING PAIR OF SPEAKERS BEAUTIFUL OILED WALNUT

THE EMPRESS VII ARE JUST ABOUT THE PERFECT SPEAKER WARM AND ENTICING THEY NEVERTHELESS REVEAL MORE INNER DETAIL THAN COMPETING LOUDSPEAKERS WHICH SACRIFICE TONALITY AND HARMONICS FOR ULTIMATE DETAIL. HARMONICALLY RIGHT AND NUANCED TO THE NINES;TIS A CONSUMATION DEVOUTLY TO BE WISHED.I WANT TO PUT OUT A PAIR IN GLOSS ROSEWOOD SO IT IS TIME TO SAY GOODBYE TO THIS PAIR.GOT A GOOD HOME FOR THEM ?

Enclosure

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The multifaceted enclosure is handcrafted in our own facilities by Danish artisans in a 1.5”- 3.0” HDF specially glued sandwich material covered by 0,75” solid wood or acrylic. The side panels have been made out of “finger tapped” wood or pure acrylic. Each wood panel has been hand-chosen and assembled by Danish artisans.

The design optimises the off-axis response and avoids diffraction. In order to minimize acoustical waves, there are no parallel front, back, top or bottom panels. The slant of the front panel aligns the phase and timing between tweeter, midrange and woofer.

Transducers

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Tweeter:
The tweeter is a 1” soft dome, Hexatech with a non-resonant aluminium chamber. It features a multiple camber with low compression and a machined aluminium faceplate. Peak Consult has altered the front plate in a very different way to have a perfect behaviour that makes it to the extreme. The tweeter performs effortlessly to sonic extremes and brings the “air” as no dome tweeter before. The most important things about the choice of this construction were the performances.

The Midrange:
The 5” Audio Technology midrange are hand-built specifically for optimal behaviour in The Empress VII enclosure. The driver features a cone that has been uniquely shaped for this moving system and a vented magnet system that includes Symmetric Drive, optimising the linear directivity. It performs with matchless sound staging ability and an imaging tight and sharp as a Diamond. The Midrange will set new standards to midrange behaviours and will go beyond

What ever has been done? Peak Consult choose to have a very linear and stable cone, to the more fancy cones that in Peak Consult ears are to be more unstable in time and more different in production. The very similar is more coherent instead of use of exotic cones. In the designs Peak Consult decided to do the most linear design that makes the speakers to perform effortless in years to come instead of an exotic appearance.

The bass:
The 9” Audio Technology woofer are hand-built and specifically designed for The Empress VII. Using very special technology in the moving systems makes it a very low-loss driver. The huge magnets and ventilation that includes Symmetric Drive system makes the driver reproduce very tight and extremely low frequencies - second to none. This driver will set new standards to bass reproduction.

Networks

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

High frequencies:
The Empress VII includes an acoustical fully compensated second order crossover in the tweeter/midrange section and it have been isolated from the moving system in it’s own dual sealed department. The Empress VII only features the best of the best. Duelund Coherent audio foil capacitors, silver carbon resistors and oiled/waxed inductors by Duelund Coherent Audio.

Low frequencies:
The low frequency includes very large foiled inductors. The low frequencies have also been altered by our straight level impedance and phase control. All sealed in its own isolated compartment.

Components:
Every component has been chosen for its sonic and musical behaviour, with no consideration for cost. The crossover is crimped and hardwired with silver soldering. The crossover is sealed in it’s own compartment to avoid microphony distortion and to shield it from electrical and magnetic radiation from rest of the system. Peak Consult uses only the best parts to do this High End loudspeaker. Imagine there is used more than 300 meters of components in a speaker and the end user had to decide for his only 2 x something. The speaker has a hart and for that only the finest is exerted.

Internal wire:
Peak Consult uses a special OEM silver wire from Duelund Coherent Audio foil sealed in pure silk for the upper frequencies and a special Peak Consult manufactured high current cable for the bass.

Termination:
The true Bi-wire termination is done with The WBT platinum signature.e.
