so i been looking at these speakers for awhile. never heard them. very interesting to me, a little too big but they are gorgeous.
anyone have any experience??
With incredible dynamic range, accuracy, and correct tonal balance, the Alura reproduces the sound of instruments as though they were being played live in your listening room. Few speakers can match the combination of sensitivity (99db), power handling (200 watts continuous), and smooth, wide frequency response (down to 35Hz) of the Alura. With a front port and controlled directivity drivers, the Alura works well in virtually any size or type of room. Even in challenging setups, the Alura produces a large soundstage and pinpoint imaging; that along with its power and dynamic range, makes for an effortless and musical presentation like no other.
The Alura A15/MT1 is a two-piece cabinet. In the lower cabinet there is a high-sensitivity 15" woofer in a bass reflex configuration, and in the top cabinet, a midrange horn, tweeter horn, and crossover network.
The large wooden midrange horn utilizes a tractrix flare, and is designed and built in-house. It has a 2" throat and and is driven by a large-format midrange compression driver with a 3-1/2" voice coil. This combination of large, solidly built wooden horn with a large throat and huge midrange compression driver results in a midrange sound that smooth and articulate, dynamic and uncolored. The midrange is truly the heart of this loudspeaker, and the listener is rewarded with a musicality from this midrange horn that is very rare in this industry, at any price.
The tweeter, located above the mid horn at the top of the cabinet, combines a 1" compression driver feeding through an elliptical tractrix horn. With a carefully tuned crossover filter, it delivers extended, smooth high frequencies that compliment the rest of this system.
