By Kim Wilson June 1998 EgglestonWorks Before you even listen to the EgglestonWorks $100,000 dollar speakers you are struck by the magnificence of the highly polished Black Italian granite enclosures. This latest model doesn't yet have a model number, but a speaker with two tweeters and nine woofers (that's right, nine woofers) is so impressive it almost doesn't need a name. EgglestonWorks utilizes a compound tweeter and woofer design to increase power handling, creating a more open sound. The two tweeters are stacked on top of each other and placed inside the enclosure. While you only see one tweeter (the other one is hidden behind it) the tweeter package alone is a whopping 7.5 pounds. The woofers are configured in a similar manner, yet instead of being stacked on top of each other, they are placed back to front inside the enclosure. In the case of this model, there are nine woofers, therefore only three are visible to the naked eye. The third woofer in each plane is vented toward the back. Put Egglestons' new speakers on your list when considering Wilson Grand SLAMMs and Martin Logan Statements. They are that good. |
