Underwood Hifi is proud to introduce Essence electrostatic loudspeakers to the US market.
For many audiophiles full range electrostatics with no crossovers and the ability to play loud are the holy grail of hi end audio. Electrostatics offer the very best resolution and inner detail. The moving mass of the drier is actually lighter than the air it moves.

Essence electrostatics set a new standard at anywhere near their price. Essence™ Electrostatic Speakers reproduce sound in a revolutionary way that requires no speaker cabinet, no woofers, no tweeters, and no crossovers. But, most electrostatics will not play loud and require dynamic woofers at frequencies under 250-500Hz.

Essence speakers use the world’s first Acrylic stator assembly, combined with cleverly designed spacers, to increase the excursion of the ultra-low mass mylar film diaphragm in the bass frequencies so it moves twice as much air as previous designs on the market. The result is full range performance without the need to make it a hybrid with a dynamic woofer. Adding a subwoofer will, of course, extend the bass into the low 20Hz range if that is important to your listening tastes.

If you were thinking about Martin Logans or Quads call us first.

The Essence™ Model 1200 is a revolutionary new electrostatic speaker by legendary designer Maarten Smits of The Netherlands. Using the most advanced production techniques and materials, Maarten has created a modern classic, the best electrostatic speaker ever. It’s lighter-than-air Mylar diaphragm delivers incomparable transparency, the fastest transient response, ultimate bass definition, pin-point stereo imaging, and is able to reach the dynamic peaks in today’s best un-compressed high resolution content with ease. Its transparent stator assembly allows you to see through the speaker. Best of all, it eliminates room-induced coloration by delivering higher output to your listening position faster than the reflected sounds that follow, for un-surpassed clarity and resolution.
