Response D15
With its roots in the highly acclaimed Response One Point Five, this
elegant new model delivers a heightened level of dynamic performance,
adding greater weight and a lively muscularity to the musical experience.
At the hub of this improvement is our own new 61/2" bass/midrange
unit. This driver has a radical new basket design for higher rigidity
and a completely reworked magnet and coil assembly. Bass loading is achieved
through a system which has never been used before in a Response range
model. Four large conical feet support each cabinet, allowing the flared
equalised ports to couple the bass output efficiently to the floor through
the plinths. As a result this driver excels in areas of control, power
handling, openness and midrange detail.
Through a sophisticated crossover network the bass/midrange driver is
harnessed to the famous ProAc 3/4" soft dome tweeter, which has
become renowned for its smooth, sweet and detailed sound.
As ever Response range build quality is outstanding. A high density
MDF cabinet with walls of varying thickness is heavily damped with bitumen
and lined with anechoic grade foam. Finished in real wood veneers, these
superb cabinets are built to look good for a long time.
The new D15 is a remarkable fulfilment of the promise of cutting edge
technology, producing a powerful yet refined presentation of music out
of all proportion to the size of the cabinets. These are floorstanders
with a beguiling musicality which will satisfy the most demanding of
audiophiles.

Audio SA 1550 There are people who use sound as a source
of inspiration and spiritual enlightenment. People who are enraptured
by the rhapsody of a symphony orchestra. People who bless the
blues from Chicago. People who crave the way guitar greats can
make a Stratocaster talk, cry or sing. They feel at home in the
subtle, sublime and swinging art of jazz. They can’t resist
the blistering tempest of a full-blooded rock orchestra. Or the
rarefied tones of baroque. They know intimately every song sung
of their favourite vocalist – and treasure every nuance
of every note. SA creates loudspeakers for these sorts of people.
People like you. At only £749 these may be the biggest
bargain ever for a beautiful speaker |

ATC SCM 50 ASL I
was instantly drawn into musical events. Music was occurring in
my room. My experience was of a live event, even if the recording
was made in a studio. For me, almost any live musical event has
an excitement, whether I like the music or not. When the music
is performed with particular feeling, it not only captures your
attention, but it captures your heart and plays the strings of
your emotions. - Positive Feedback extract |

Home Monitor 212-IIHave a listen to a good emotional
female singer like Eva Cassidy. If your jaw dosn't drop then
I will be checking for a pulse. grown men have been known to
fight back tears before these speakers.
"Within seconds, I sank into a state of bliss. It may have been
the music, the volume (just shy of "live"), or the heat
in the room (from 150 glowing tubes!), but whatever it was, I remained
transfixed for the next 45 minutes"

Gryphon PoseidonThere
are Loudspeakers and then there is the Gryphon Poseidon, In our
opinion the best loudspeaker system in the world bar none.
I could say the Poseidon's are awesome and amazing, but more than
that they are truly majestic and magical. So often the quality of
a product is overstated by reviewers in order to make a magazine
review seem more interesting. It would be most difficult to overstate
the sonic abilities of the Poseidon. |
