Elegance in design
The Living Voice Auditorium Series of loudspeakers has been designed to provide the committed music enthusiast with a coherent, artistically convincing and emotionally engaging experience.
The Auditorium Series consists of 4 models with the option of inboard (IBX) or outboard (OBX) crossover electronics on the two top models.
It's important to anyone with a passion for music that their hi-fi system has a natural tonal balance and more importantly an even and consistent dynamic balance. Many people, and technophiles in particular, believe that this balance can be achieved through objective quantitative analysis. At Living Voice we have a different outlook. We develop our products using our musical sensibility, and we measure our progress against the artistic expression and emotional communication that we are able to realise in recordings of significant musical performances.
Ironically, by working backwards in this way, we find that our finished designs stand the closest possible objective analysis. All of the Avatar models have even, benign impedance characteristic, high sensitivity and extremely wide, even dispersion - very desirable objective characteristics.
The simple elegantly proportioned cabinets of the Auditorium Series conceal a meticulous and obsessive approach to the complex problems of loudspeaker design. Each model shares the same external dimensions, rear venting and mid-treble-mid drive unit configuration. The advances in performance as you move through the hierarchy are determined by improvements to the circuit topology, driver quality, the cabinet construction and crossover component quality.
The unusual bass-mid drivers employ shallow profile light paper diaphragms, light narrow diameter voice coils and light foam suspension terminations. These unusual physical characteristics allow the reproduction of music with a fine touch and filigree that eludes today’s heavy high power handling designs.
The above average sensitivity of 94dB and benign load impedance facilitate the use of superior quality class ’A’ valve amplification. All of the models in the Auditorium Series have been developed using valve electronics including the peerless Kondo KSL electronics from Japan.
Above all the Auditorium Series has been designed to reproduce every aspect of musical performance to the same very high standard. It is this balanced, even-handed and proportioned presentation that keeps your attention compellingly focused on the music programme, and not on the loudspeakers.
Living Voice - the willing suspension of disbelief made easy.
