Description:
Handmade and finished by master craftsman, John Otvos, the Waveform Mach 17s have been praised as among the very best loudspeakers in the world. Tri-amped, the direct control over the tweeter, midrange and bass drivers is achieved through the flexibility of a balanced customer designed active crossover manufactured exclusively for Waveform by Bryston. If you’re looking for natural, dynamic speakers, then you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better speaker.

Review:
Blair Rogers review in 11/97, Audiophilia: “This neutrality allows us to simply listen to the music....because the frequency response of the speakers is so flat and well balanced (i.e. neutral), that you will find yourself lost in the magic of the music. In this sense, the Waveforms transmute your system into a kind of time machine that will transport you beyond the banality of everyday life. The capacity to delight and amaze that is locked in our record collections shines forth compellingly.”

Questions for the seller
hi - the drivers seem to have issues? The bass drivers also seem to not be original? Can you offer any info on these concerns? Thanks-
Hey Johan, the drivers are working and sounding beautifully. I did replace 2 of the original ones on one of the speakers back in March and as I mentioned in an earlier note, I also replaced one of the tweeters around 98/99'. The mids, the other tweeter and the other 2 bass drivers are all originals. Hope this helps. allen
Pardon, disregard grill question. I see you have them
Yep, no worries, I do have the grilles. Regarding the drivers: The two replacement woofer drivers were bought new - ESS 689-1220 12" Cast Frame. The original Vifa tweeter was replaced with a new Vifa. (I can look up the model if you need it)
