We are about to change your view of hi-fi loudspeakers with the EBACOUSTICS range, now available from our online catalog at www.ebacoustics.com. Whether you think you know all about hi-fi loudspeakers or whether you are still searching for musical satisfaction, EBACOUSTICS will open your ears in a way that you have never heard before!
What’s different about EBACOUSTICS?
What happens when one of the world’s foremost loudspeaker designers meets the UK’s leading cabinet maker? Could the outcome just be some of the most advanced, cutting edge hi-fi loudspeakers in the world?
Of course - that is exactly what you might expect. And that is exactly what the EBACOUSTICS range is about to deliver.
These are loudspeakers with a difference. To begin with the cabinets are no ordinary cabinets. Built to a revolutionary specification the EBACOUSTICS cabinets may look conventional on the outside, with their sleek, hand finished real wood veneers. But underneath the glossy exterior is a triumph of engineering.
You may not have realised it but the ’sound’ of your loudspeakers is as much due to the cabinet as it is to the drive units. Why? Because both acoustic and mechanical vibration from the moving parts of the loudspeaker - the drive units - is transmitted to whatever frame or cabinet to which they are attached. Naturally the cabinet walls act as sounding boards, producing a distinct output that adds to, and interferes with, the sound from the drive units.
Also, and not surprisingly, the character of sound produced by the cabinet itself usually has a distinct audio signature. Our research has shown that this character is dependant upon the type of wood used in the cabinet construction. You might be surprised to learn that the wood that most hi-fi manufacturers use - MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) - has the most obvious audio signature!
Yes, we know that many manufacturers praise MDF for its high rigidity and consistency. But it is exactly those characteristics that give MDF its strong sonic signature. In fact we would go as far as to say that a cabinet built from MDF is easily recognisable by the colouration it imparts to the sound of a speaker.
We have published a research paper which shows exactly how this characteristic sound is generated and why it interferes with the sound that you should be hearing from the drive units. Suffice it to say that, far from being the ‘best’ wood structure to use for loudspeaker cabinets, MDF is actually one of the worst components used in any so-called hi-fi loudspeaker!
In our research we conducted tests on a wide variety of cabinet woods, few of which yielded the type of performance that we were looking for. After many years of testing we came to the conclusion that not one wood type, on its own, was capable of allowing us to hear music as it was intended to be reproduced.
But what we did discover was that a certain combination of timber structures would place the vibrational energy transmitted to the cabinet out of harms way so that it was simply undetectable by the human ear. Of course we can still measure the output of the cabinet - let no-one make you believe that all that energy can simply be dissipated with some audible output - but it is now buried so far below the music signal from the drive units that it is simply not ‘heard’.
The result is that, in the EBACOUSTICS range of loudspeakers you hear the music and nothing but the music. Words cannot convey the musical enjoyment available from these speakers so we are doing what was previously thought impossible - we are allowing you to listen to them in the comfort of your own home, with your own equipment and music!
You see, long ago we realised that listening to loudspeakers in a shop is not the ideal way to choose the speakers that are ‘right’ for you. The conditions in shops are so unlike those in the typical home that you will find it almost impossible to make a buying decision which will lead to long-lasting satisfaction.
In addition you are put under stress in a shop environment - the stress, in fact, of trying to make the right buying decision! Such stress actually robs your hearing faculties of their usual discrimination causing, in many cases, the ‘loudest’ and ‘brightest’ loudspeakers to grab your attention.
Of course many manufacturers of commercial loudspeakers realise this and, as a result, make sure that their designs produce the ‘boomiest’ bass output and the most strident treble performance. Do these characteristics provide for long term musical enjoyment? We think not.
In fact we would go as far as to say that the only ‘good’ loudspeaker is one that is seen, but not heard! In other words you should revel in the enjoyment of the music without being aware that the loudspeakers exist!
There is only one way that hi-fi loudspeakers can achieve this type of performance, and that is by being a ‘window’ into the musical performance. All the EBACOUSTICS range accomplish this class of performance with ease. Our technical expertise, based on more than 35 years of professional loudspeaker development, allows us to marry the ideal drive units to the most advanced cabinet construction techniques.
The result is a triumph of hi-fi loudspeaker engineering. Listening to EBACOUSTICS speakers is like lifting a veil that is shielding you from the musical performance. At last you are able to hear every note, every pluck of the string, every beat of the drum, every shift of vocal vibrato, to thrill your senses in a way that you would only otherwise experience at the live performance.
As we said, this type of musical reproduction is impossible satisfactorily to put into words. You have to experience it for yourself to understand it. Which is why we are eager for you to put the EBACOUSTICS speakers to the test in your own home.
We invite you to select the speakers that best suit your living environment so that we can ship them to your door. Try them out, put them through their paces, for up to 30 days. If they are not what we say they are, if they don’t thrill you in the way we hint that they will, then simply send them back to us and you will owe us nothing.
How can we do this? Because we know that, once you’ve heard what EBACOUSTICS loudspeakers can do for your hi-fi system, you will be as excited as we are about the way they bring recorded music to life, right in your living room. It’s our promise, to you, all you have to do is put them to the test and hear for yourself.
