The Scansonic New B versions speakers have been upgraded and optimized in almost all areas. They’ll be premiered at the upcoming Rocky Mountain Audio Fest in Denver Colorado
The internal construction has been changed, in order to optimize airflow which combined with the minimalistic use of damping-material has created a very dynamic and linear low frequency reproduction.
The old acoustically vented cabinets have now been replaced with a ported cabinet, which is tuned for optimal impulse response – resulting in a more linear, dynamic and detailed low-end reproduction, while at the same time making in-room placement of the speaker much easier and versatile.
Drivers
The woofer and midrange drivers, have been fitted with a new low loss spider which greatly improves the dynamic capabilities as well as expanding the frequency response in the bass region. – A very nice side effect of this is that the break-in period has been reduced greatly (around 100 hours).
Crossover
The crossovers have been completely redesigned. This has resulted in a much more linear and natural sound, which is clearly visible throughout the whole line.
The crossover has been designed the time-align all drive units at listening distance – The result is a speaker which not only presents a big and precise soundstage – it also boasts a timing that will make your foot tap and put a big smile on your face!
Upgrade
Because of the extensive internal changes to the cabinet, as well as redesigned woofers, upgrading old models to B version is not possible.
