SAGA represents the synthesis of multi-year research into low noise circuitry, developed during the TESSERACT design project, and the high-resolution pinpoint focus of Isis. Avalon Acoustics’ in-depth research over a period of four years has produced a range of advancements in each aspect of loudspeaker performance. Proprietary conductors and magnetic technologies, as well as new techniques in cabinet construction, have been combined with the implementation of an all neodymium full-range driver array.
A new family of all-pass phase networks confers empirical improvements in all aspects of energy transfer and transient speed. The noise floor is lower, the transient response faster, and the storage of stray energy is less than ever before. Most importantly, the octave to octave energy balance is equivalent throughout the extended bandwidth envelope, developed without compression and yet critically damped, thus delivering a dynamic and spatial presentation that is absolutely faithful to the recording.
The result is a large dynamic system that behaves like a small monitor, revealing the most subtle details of space against black backgrounds within an envelope of explosive sound pressure contrasts. Modest impedance characteristics make macro dynamic distinctions possible with even low output voltage source amplifiers.
