Hempopotamus products have expanded into the hi-fi realm with a couple new 8 models… This particular model is a great example of how good a 200 dollar pair of speakers can actually sound.. Utilizing a centrally mounted/time aligned dome tweeter inside of the motor assembly, there is absolutely NO time lag from mis-aligned/incorrect distance relationship of the woofer and tweeter as compared to the listener. Frequencies from the woofer and tweeter arrive at the listeners ears at exactly the same time, and that critical 300-3,000 Hz human voice range becomes smooth and seamless.. Specially tooled components in the magnetic structure can accommodate all components aside from the woofer, so it looks as if there is only a single driver reproducing the entire spectrum. A large open weave/acoustically transparent dust cap allows just the right amount of high end to propagate from the woofers center. Stereo imaging is greatly enhanced and enlarged, due to the high dispersion angles provided by this design. All components are of the highest quality. Just a single loudspeaker weighs almost 5 pounds! The woofer has a rather large ferrite magnetic assembly, which drives a large diameter 2 voice coil with an ALUMINUM former. This is radially vented and CCAW wire wound. With a respectable 92dB sensitivity, she can dig down to 25 Hz and features a real rubber half roll high compliance surround. This dampens any remaining cone edge resonance issues. Cone composition is a hard, re-pressed hemp fiber, which has an unbeatable natural presentation… Bass becomes accurate, smooth, meaty, and 3 dimensional. Mid-bass is CRITICAL not to sound muddy, and it now fabricates a sound stage that’s amazing, and that rolls right up into the high end, which is handed off to the centrally time aligned tweeter.. And- speaking of, the tweeter , this unit is a high power low resonance NEODYMIUM unit, so that it’s compact, yet potent….. With the minimalist approach in the crossover, to keep anything out of the signal, the tweeter HAS to be durable. A simple 6dB/ octave network is all that is needed to crossover the tweeters frequencies. The XO point is several times above the Fs of the tweeters moving mass, so there isn’t any harsh ringing or break up. The nice thing is that even after hours of talk radio, you won’t get “listener’s fatigue”…. Fellas’, for a speaker under the 100 mark(each), she’s quite a show-off. GREAT for automotive, in ceiling, ad in wall installs, where you don’t want to be concerned about an enclosure…. So, if you want a high quality 8 co-axial unit, but don’t want to spend 2 grand, then here ya’ go!! ANY questions or concerns- just ask..
