Sincerity of expression; freedom from prejudice; openness.

The CANDOR system is built around a superb 5” main driver loaded into our Ultra enclosure, which has been developed to prevent rear-wave energy from reflecting back onto the driver and minimize resonance within the cabinet. The Ultra enclosure eliminates the solid wall behind the driver, replacing it with a layering of sonically absorbent materials. This frees the midrange response from much of the anomalies that can easily plague more common designs.

The CANDOR’s astounding treble response comes from the 1” synthetic dome tweeter—a perfect match to the main driver in its neutral frequency response and superb transients. Again the rear-wave energy is carefully controlled and absorbed in the driver’s modified rear chamber. Early reflections from the cabinet surface are damped with a felt lining of the tweeter’s faceplate. The result is phenomenal ease and resolution.

Twin 6.5” long-throw woofers complete the driver array, combining a superb response time with tremendous extension. Akin to the main driver’s Ultra enclosure, the bass cabinet is partitioned internally with acoustically absorbent materials, which dramatically improve accuracy by minimizing reflections and resonance within the cabinet. A pair of damped, flared ports provide a low-Q tuning at 27Hz to ensure optimal transient accuracy.

The CANDOR’s elegant cabinets are ruggedly constructed with proportions and internal bracing selected to inhibit panel resonance and associated coloration.

The potential of the driver/cabinet design is realized via a painstakingly optimized crossover circuit employing the finest electrical components and our unique Symmetrical Cascade topology. High-purity copper and silver internal wiring, air-core foil inductors, and film-and-foil capacitors comprise the mixed-order filters that seamlessly integrate the drivers’ output, on and off axis.
