Vantage
ADDITIONAL INFO
For a completely resonance free
and inert construction, Vantage boasts a special 10-layer sandwich which includes several layers of stiff and porous wood from ochroma pyramidale, commonly known as the balsa tree. Its cabinet walls, which are all essentially curved and non-parallel, reach 42 mm in thickness at critical points and are further re-enforced by extensive and meticulous bracing. All this is complemented by special damping material and damping techniques in order to invest Vantage with pure musicality.
Components of highest quality and reliability such as Jantzen Superior Z-Cap capacitors and Mills resistors, just to name a few, have been employed in the highly customisable and unique crossover network.
The jewel in the crown of Vantage is the special Satori™ wide-range driver. Some of the important characteristics of this unique driver are as follows:
-
Vented aerodynamic cast aluminium chassis for optimum strength and low compression
-
Proprietary cone material with EGYPTIAN PAPYRUS™ fibres
-
Soft low damping rubber surround for optimum transient response
-
Advanced BIMAX spider for improved linearity
-
Powerful optimized low-distortion neodymium motor system
-
Non-conducting fibre glass voice-coil former for minimum damping
-
Extended copper sleeve on pole piece for low inductance and reduced distortion
-
CCAW voice coil for reduced moving mass
A tweeter with the unique AirCirc 6 neodymium magnet system allows the high frequencies to materialise flawlessly whereas two sliced-paper cone symmetrical woofers render the lower frequencies. The addition of a down-firing aluminium subwoofer to the mixture culminates in Vantage having the impressive bandwidth of 21–30000 Hz.
Last but not least, Vantage loudspeakers are treated with four layers of primer, followed by four layers of Xirallic® paint and varnish. Numerous rigorous polishing rounds ensure that the final product is absolutely free of any blemishes and imperfections.
Description
The no compromise AudioSolutions Vantage loudspeaker, our finest achievement to date, took three whole years to design and perfect. Meticulous fine tuning aside, it still takes us eight whole weeks to manufacture each single pair.
A speaker with sound so real, you will be hard pressed to distinguish it from a live performance.
A top class speaker should not be limited to an acoustically treated, no-resonance, anechoic chamber. In fact, such chambers are designed for measurements, not enjoyment of music. That's why a reference AudioSolutions speaker offers something special, not seen elsewhere: an ability to adapt itself to the environment and individual taste of the listener, enabled by a unique fine-tunable crossover.
Futures
Red, yellow, black, gray, graphite or any other color. There is almost every color. Xirallic® piano high-gloss or satin varnish. Choose yourself, or contact us, and in collaboration with interior decorator, will try to meet your expectations. The rest of the column is covered with leather and special quartzite texture.
Designed around a custom version of the exclusive 6" Satori driver with propietary Egyptian Papyrus cone, neodymium magnet and vented aerodynamic cast aluminium chassis, AudioSolutions Vantage uses only the best drivers available to supplement it. An almost full range operation of the midrange unit ensures, that most of the music comes from a single point source with virtually no phase distortions typical to ordinary designs. Extremely linear, full range driver covers most of the audio band for a naturally coherent musical experience.
For a resonance free construction a special 10 layer sandwich including some layers of stiff and porous Balsa tree (Ochroma pyramidale) wood, is used. Cabinet walls reach an overall thickness of 42mm at some critical points and extensive bracing adds to the inert nature of the cabinet. Curved, non parallel walls and special damping techniques are implemented to achieve the level of pure musicality we strived for during the long months of extensive listening tests.

Special drivers
The very special Satori wide range driver stands out: vented aerodynamic cast aluminium chassis with powerful low distortion neodymium motor system, advanced BIMAX spider for improved linearity, non-conducting fibre glass CCAW voice coil for minimum damping and reduced moving mass all contribute to an extremely musical, high resolution, resonance and distortion free sound. A unique AirCirc 6 neodymium magnet system of the tweeter contributes on top octaves, while two sliced paper cone symmetrical drive motor design woofers add to the bottom. Downward firing subwoofer extends the impressive bandwidth of the Vantage speaker to 21-30 000 Hz.
Finishes
Standard Finishes: any colour included in colour matching systems RAL and NCS, in matt.
Exclusive Finishes: any colour included in colour matching systems RAL and NCS, in gloss
Side walls of the AudioSolutions Vantage loudspeakers are hand painted in four layers of primer followed by four layers of paint and varnish, altered with as much intermediate polishing rounds. It takes us well over one week to finish just the sides of the speaker, including more than three days of pure polishing. Any blemishes and imperfections are eliminated in the process.
Red, yellow, black, graphite gray or any other colour available. Piano high lustre Xirallic finish lacquer. Choose yourself or contact us for a suggestion. The rest of the speaker is covered in leather and special quartzite texture paint.
