Description
The theme with this and to a greater extent the loudspeakers is the use of solid wood. The labyrinthine cabinet for the W8 is machined out of the stuff to create internal partitions and conduits that are far more elaborate and complex than can be achieved with an assembled construction. In the W8 you can see separate chambers for the main tweeter and the midrange, which completely cut them off from air pressure created by side firing bass units. It’s an extraordinary and expensive way to build a loudspeaker cabinet but undoubtedly contributes to the sound they produce.
