The crossover network is first-order, at 800Hz, using nine electronic parts total and only two parts in series with the signal (one coil for the woofer, one foil capacitor for the horn), and a L-C-R filter to tailor horn response. Cook said the simplified design results in “stable and high” impedance that doesn’t dip below 9 ohms.Mala and Cook wouldn’t say which company makes their drivers, but they did mention that Ø Audio is located about 40 minutes from SEAS (Scandinavian Electro Acoustic Systems) and that they use that company’s anechoic chamber. SEAS, however, does not make and sell any off-the-shelf 15″ woofers.The Verdande cabinets rest on four large, polished steel feet, inside of which a circle of tungsten ball bearings isolates the cabinet from the floor and vice versa. The speakers tilt backward, so the front panel slopes a bit. There is a single pair of multiway binding posts at the rear.
