Est. year: 2013
PureAudioProject is an Israeli maker of modular open-baffle loudspeakers, founded in 2013 by Ze'ev Schlik, with a US office in Iowa City. Its speakers ship flat-packed for home assembly, and the whole range is built on a semi-DIY idea in which drivers, baffles, cables and crossover parts can be swapped and upgraded over time.
Range & what it's known for
The Trio15, launched in 2014, uses two 15-inch woofers per side with interchangeable center modules. The Trio15 Coax10 version pairs Eminence OB-A15Neo woofers with a 10-inch coaxial mid and high driver and is rated at 96dB sensitivity. The Duet15 Prelude is the entry model, priced at USD 2,999 with a Tang Band W8-1808 full-range driver or USD 4,990 with a Voxativ AC-1.6. The Coax10 version was opened for pre-order in December 2020 at USD 7,490 per pair. The Quintet15 stands seven feet tall with eight 15-inch woofers, and the Quintet10 Horn2 sits at the top at USD 8,490 with US shipping included. Other driver options include ESS Air Motion Transformer tweeters, Morel 10-inch woofers and compression drivers.
Who owns it and where it's made
Schlik still leads the business. Before PureAudioProject he worked as a senior executive at Comverse Technology and ran the Israeli record labels Zuta Music and NMC Music. Speakers are produced in both the USA and Europe, with crossovers and coaxial drivers made in Europe, and are shipped directly to customers.
The lineup in this catalog
Open-baffle loudspeakers. Driver configuration sets the price, which starts near USD 2,000 for the simplest pair and passes USD 10,000 for the largest builds.
Who it's for
PureAudioProject is for a listener drawn to dipole open-baffle speakers who enjoys assembling and changing them. All Trio15 versions share one frame and baffle platform, so owners swap center modules instead of replacing the speaker, and a Trio15 can be converted to a Quintet15 with a new frame, four more woofers and crossover changes. A trade-up scheme lets Duet15 Prelude buyers move to a larger model within a year with 70 percent of the price credited.
