Description

Coincident Speaker Technology was established by Israel Blume in 1993 for the sole purpose of creating a superior loudspeaker. Mr. Blume was ultimately dissatisfied with every loudspeaker he had ever owned or listened to. From the Quad ESL 63 to the Martin Logans, to Wilson Watts and almost everything in between exhibited sonic weakness that proved to be in the long term unacceptable. Blume put his over twenty five years of audio and music experience to work to conceptualize a loudspeaker that would reproduce music with no obvious or distracting perversions. He understood quite well the inherent limitations of electrostatic designs, i.e. the need for a signal contaminating high voltage step up transformer, its low sensitivity and large size et al. At the same time virtually all dynamic systems possessed their own set of compromises, namely, slow transient speed, small image size, etc. Therefore, a new loudspeaker combining the best sonic attributes of cones and electrostatics had to be created. A daunting task to say the least. The first loudspeaker designed by Blume was the Concentric Monitor and its companion subwoofer, the Super Bass Monitor. What made this speaker unique was its cylindrical enclosure. Unlike conventional cabinets, the Monitor was constructed out of computer cut MDF concentric rings. The advantages of this design was that its structural strength was typically 15 times greater than a prism shaped enclosure and furthermore rigidity was equal at all points...
