STATUS 203

Audiophile Speaker System

The STATUS 203, conceived as the system for the audiophile, represents the results of the latest computer aided research in high quality speaker design. It is a combination of power and musicality, which is new in its class and produces a quality of naturalness and musical truth, comparable with much larger and more expensive high-end systems. The ‘STATUS’ series features one of the most elegant designs in the market today. The elegant looks are visually pleasing, beautifully finished in natural wood veneer and delivers a level of sonic and aesthetic refinement that is unrivalled. The STATUS 203 with its smooth, powerful and well balanced sound will let you appreciate the finest of jazz, classical and rock from the best turntables and high quality digital sources which have the potential of pushing conventional speaker systems beyond their performance limits. The STATUS 203 has an extremely large soundstage. For best results it is suggested that the cabinets be angled in towards the listening position. The two custom-built, 135mm diameter long excursion bass units, coupled with a computer-designed enclosure, produce excellent transients and bass extension. The narrow frontal dimensions minimise lateral diffraction, producing exceptional imaging. The Ferro-fluid cooled soft dome tweeter delivers a remarkable treble smoothness and transparency. The low frequency driver being coincidentally time aligned, result in a smooth and uniform ‘onaxis’ as well as ‘off-axis’ response over a wide area of coverage. The enclosure, made of high-density material, dampened and lined with anechoic glass wool makes it inert with negligible cabinet colouration. Optimum system performance is determined by the proper matching of all elements of the system and can be enhanced, if amplifiers capable of providing the elements necessary to drive these superior performance capabilities power the speakers.
