Semmaa Audio has introduced the REALITY ONE acoustic systems, the first company’s product with unimaginable sound quality for larger and smaller rooms. The loudspeakers use a configuration with 3 loose adjustable elements for optimal phase behavior and offer a loose separation filter to control the elements separately with different cables.
The extended bass range in the acoustics is provided by the TQWP (tapered quarter wave pipe) system. The midrange frequencies are voiced by one of the High End radiating speakers, and the high frequencies in the speakers are responsible for the beryllium tweeter. The acoustics are already on sale at a price of €38,900.00.
3 Loosely adjustable speaker housings for optimal phase behavior.
Possibility of different speaker cables inside the speaker housings
Different cable lengths available between crossovers and speakers
Loose advanced passive crossovers
Crossovers fully wired instead of circuit boards
This product is in the Hi-Fi and High End Electronics and Acoustics database
