The Oido 12 OBEM is a compact open baffle loudspeaker system featuring Acoustic Elegance Dipole18’s for low frequency foundation The design goal for the Oido 12 OBEM was to create the most compact open baffle loudspeaker possible, while having enough bass driver surface area to provide rich bass response. No DSP or equalization is required. The sensitivity is 94 dB, enough to be used even with low power tube amplifiers. The result is a very natural, relaxed, and if necessary extremely powerful bass in combination with sublime mids and highs. This all comes from a system that looks quite neat and kind of small, especially when…

These beautiful 3-way DIY speakers featuring TD12M’s and SEOS12’s with DNA-360 compression drivers are finished in a crotch mahogany veneer with automotive 2k metallic flake paint on the front baffles. Here is what Doug had to say about them: “When I designed my media room, I wanted from my audio system a full range of powerful response – from thunderous, tactile bass, smooth mids, and delicate highs at every seat in the room that measures ruler flat at all listening levels. This room is the main entertaining area in our home where we spend time as a family watching movies…

UB151’s loaded with Dipole15’s combine with some of the best components in the world in this system looking to approach audio perfection. Some months ago the first email was received by a man to be known here as Alain Ciarraighe.  He had assembled quite the system with extremely high end components and was looking for a bass solution that could fit in well with the rest of the components.  Having been impressed by the sound heard from the Lotus Group Granada previously at the California Audio Show in San Francisco, he was interested in looking at using open baffles to achieve the accuracy he desired.  After some…

Designed, built, and installed as a collaboration between Acoustic Elegance and Seaton Sound, these custom studio monitors offer unparalleled accuracy, extension, and incredible output capability. While Acoustic Elegance is known for making the world’s best woofers, many custom projects have also been completed over the years.  Back in 2007, Acoustic Elegance was approached by Nick Barnett, owner of Clarity Music Group.

Achieve extension to monitor in room as low as 10Hz at significant output levels when…

This DIY design by Ronald Wanders utilizes his own DIY ribbon drivers mated to Dipole12’s in an amazing 2way system. “The ribbon project is finished. The ‘lads’ are assembled in the living room. I started March ’15. It took me 7 months to design, Autocad, calculate, think, cut, weld, CNC and assemble them. Lots of masters-of-industry helped me during this project. Theo Kraai (Lentus Audio) made the basic design of the wood work and the baffle. His son Tom and a co-worker Ben did the CNC work. Per Lundahl (Lundahl Transformers) designed the impedance correcting transformers for the 2 meter…

Ryan Scott of Vapor Audio tells us what makes the Vapor Audio Nimbus such a unique speaker and why the Acoustic Elegance TD15H was an ideal fit. “We knew the Nimbus concept was an ambitious goal.  Targeted were effortless dynamics, high output capability, extreme low distortion, flat frequency response with little thermal compression, and high enough efficiency to allow use of all but flea-power SET amplifiers. Precious few speakers exist in the market that check off all those boxes,  and with good reason.  Often the problem is that the necessary pieces of the puzzle don’t exist. “The tweeter was easy because…
