A casual observer would assume the speakers to be a typical
floor-standing three-way design. Not so! The speaker is really more of a
two-way design with a built-in passive subwoofer. The midbass driver in the T3
sphere is in fact run over a large portion of the frequency range, achieving
much of the purity of sound and lack of phase distortion of single driver
speakers.

This 6.5-inch mid/bass driver is sourced from Denmark and is a two-layer
material with a woven paper (backside) laminated with a material the supplier calls
copolymer." This driver has no crossover on the low end and,
"...still has decent output down to 48Hz and we just let it roll off
naturally. At the top, there is a 6dB slope that starts at 3K but on the
analyzer you still see usable energy out to nearly 4K.          

The low frequency driver is an eight-inch Morel-sourced unit and mounted
to the side of the wood cabinet in mirror imaged configuration. Default is to
place the speakers with the woofers firing outwards. There is a "12dB
slope low pass filter on this at 80Hz ...though with a bit of gel coat on the
woofer we get it to start rolling off before that."

The tweeter is a 0.75-inch silk dome sourced from Audax. It is crossed
over with a 24dB slope starting at 3.8 kHz. While the tweeter may not be a
pricey ring revelator or other exotic bubba, it works extremely well with the
design. After all, that's what it's all about; not trying to find ways to use
the most expensive drivers to impress brand name sycophants. The manufacturer
hand-selects the tweeters and once you've heard them in the speaker, no
apologies are necessary.

The half-inch thick aluminum base with exquisitely machined tapered
aluminum feet provides excellent stability as well as a striking visual
contrast to the light natural maple of the sealed bass driver enclosure. The
polished stainless steel base also ties the appearance together with the
opposing stainless steel midbass sphere. A half-round, torpedo-shaped walnut
enclosure sits below the sphere's metal support ring and houses the tweeter,
which is inset into the woofer's front baffle. It adds yet another point of
interest to what is truly a striking design statement and one of the most
refreshing I have ever seen in audio.

Condition is excellent. I do not have the original boxes, but can ship if
buyer choses to cover shipping containers and shipping cost. Expect $200-$400
depending upon distance from SD. Pick up in San Diego encouraged.
