DESCRIPTION

The Alón Vesuvio is a high-energy floor standing speaker system that has particular application in reproducing contemporary music with life-like dynamics and impact. Vesuvio is unusual in that it is an all passive four-way system with dedicated front firing 10" subwoofers and 10" midwoofers in separate chambers. This splitting of the bass range allows specialized transducers optimized for sub bass and mid bass to be employed. In this way the typical compromises due to conflicting requirements for upper bass and sub bass performance are avoided, and excellent dynamics is provided over the whole bass range of 25 to 400 Hz. Middle frequencies from 400 to 3500 Hz. are reproduced by our premium 5¼" cast frame Alnico magnet midrange driver. This driver employs our hand-coated tri-laminate cone for excellent speed and very low distortion. It operates in a generous isolated rear vented sub chamber for effortless mid frequency reproduction. High frequencies from 3500 Hz to 22 kHz are reproduced by our new high efficiency silk soft dome tweeter for excellent clarity, dispersion and smoothness. Response is only 2 dB below the 1 kHz level at 45 degrees off axis!
