Way Active Floorstanders, 22 drivers, 8000W AKA “The Illuminator”…
SGR writes: “Big toys for big boys! The Illuminator is SGR’s cost and size no object flagship loudspeaker, capable of frightening dynamics yet still able to replicate the delicate and articulate sound of intimate passages.
From 60Hz to 40Khz, we’ve used the impressive flagship Illuminator range of drivers from ScanSpeak. These are then augmented down low by our own SGR ultra-low distortion 12″ woofers built with a Linear Symmetrical Gap (LSG) motor structure.
To dramatically reduce box vibration, a self-cancelling mounting structure has been implemented with the front woofers internally attached to the rear woofers. That’s four 12″ woofers per speaker, eight per system. Each of the 12″ woofers are capable of 40mm linear movement! Yes, as far as bass goes, we went for broke on this one.
Standing an impressive 2m tall, the vertically reflected 4-way design is composed of 5 mechanically isolated modular enclosures which are individually shipped and assembled on site. The chamfered baffle edges provide rock solid imaging and the expansive three dimensional soundstage you would expect from a speaker of this stature.”

The 12″ LSG woofers will be connected in pairs and driven by onboard 600W SGR monoblocks. 4 monoblocks required per system.
The 6.5″ mid-bass drivers will be driven by EL30m 300W monoblocks. 2 required per system.
The 4″ midrange drivers will be driven by EL30m 300W monoblocks. 2 required per system.
Each ring-radiator tweeter will be driven by an EL15m 150W monoblock. 2 required per system.
Price indicated includes the above mentioned Elite series amplifiers as well as the ELPRE fitted with 4-way crossover module.
That’s almost 4000 Watts RMS and 8000W peak! Dedicated high current power lines may be required.
