CES & THE Show 2011 Sounds & Sights
Daniel Lee is the "Daniel" in Mark
& Daniel, whose Fantasia-S speaker ($13,800/pair) debuted at CES. It features a
cabinet made completely of "compound marble," a Corian-like material that's
twice as dense as MDF.
The speaker's AMT driver covers the range
from 650Hz to 20kHz, earning its "wideband" nickname. The top-mounted
supertweeter is omnidirectional.
The Fantasia-S's head unit pivots. According
to the company, this is purely for making toeing in such a heavy speaker easier. Daniel
Lee was especially proud of the fact that Mark & Daniel makes "everything"
used for its speakers -- from the cabinets to the drivers to the binding posts. |
