Amazing one-of-a-kind live edge dipole loudspeaker pair made from solid slabs of maple. Hand-crafted (by me) in the San Francisco Bay Area.

These speakers have a huge soundstage, great imaging, and high degree of overall realism. Few speakers outperform these.

This is a bargain: I am selling these at less than the material cost in order to fund (and make room for) further developments. Honestly, these are one of the best speakers I have ever made and will be sad to see them go. Unfortunately, the Eton Arcosia drivers have become difficult to source so I no longer make these.

I consider these demo/prototype units. There are some imperfections in the finish, but that adds to the rustic look. From the listening position, these are stunning to look at and hear.

Come audition in the SF Bay Area, California. Due to their size, I would prefer to sell locally. Shipping would need to be freight at the buyer's expense.

The speakers are 4-ohm (nominal) with 82db sensitivity. They work best with at least 50 watts of power.


Spirit | Maple

An open baffle loudspeaker hand-crafted from solid maple slabs with top-shelf drivers and a simple crossover network.

The Spirit is a milestone in our pursuit of authentic sound reproduction and authentic beauty.

Specs

  • Four-driver passive open baffle design.
  • Solid maple baffle made from a large sustainably sourced live-edge slab.
  • External crossover in a solid walnut enclosure.
  • Point-to-point wired crossover network containing just inductors and resistors - no capacitors.
  • Eton HD Magnesium/Ceramic 28mm Tweeter, with 4250 hz (nominal) first-order high-pass filter (6db/octave).
  • Eton Arcosia 7” Magnesium composite woofer, with 4250 hz (nominal) first-order low-pass filter (6db/octave).
  • Aurum Cantus AC300 12" carbon fiber woofer, with 50hz (nominal) first-order low-pass filter (6db/octave).
  • Massive Peerless 18" pro subwoofer, with 50hz (nominal) first-order low pass filter (6db/octave).
  • Tweeter and mid are wired in series for improved transient response. They are attenuated, trading off efficiency for improved bass extension. The 12" and 18" woofers are wired in parallel for additional bass.
  • Massive binding posts accept up to 4awg speaker wire or banana plugs.
  • Finished with multiple coats of hand-rubbed 100% pure tung oil to accentuate the wood's natural beauty.
