Jon has been toying with the idea of developing a larger speaker that would provide a bit more bass extension as well as over all SPL. I have been following his progress for more than a year. With the bar set by the A5's as they are, I am really anticipating the L7 to be quite special. I found this today.

It's been WAY too quiet here;...That said, the L7 is finally a fully-fledged concept and while exact production isn't a lock yet, I'd like to think we'll have some prototypes here this spring to test, photograph, and tune.

I just wasn't 100% pleased with the direction the model took through about mid last year, but that changed when some new options appeared. Now the model is really well balanced and its specifications are stunning. I have the time to devote to it again, and it really is what I'd always wanted the L7 to be.

We can't make just another tower. After the A5 platform's success, this model really has to click and as of this month I think we have the right ingredients. With some good news from the supply chain hopefully we can make an announcement in a month or so.

So while this might be a bit premature, things are looking up again!:spend:

Yes they sure are looking up! Why you ask? Well, personally I am looking forward to the new A2.4's myself. Plan to order (3) across the front. May even later add the A1.4's for rear duties. Only have the room for 5.2. Really not so much into HT as I am my music. Jon has assured me that (3) A2.4's across the front will be amazing and I believe him. I do, on occasion, watch a movie or two. That is why I may also order the A1.4's. Anyways, just thought that I would add to the excitement!

Cheers,

Phil

I can't wait. You all know how I feel about the A5. I would love to get a chance to hear what Jon does next!

Yeah, have ready many great things about the A5. The thing is, I am not a tower guy. That being said, I really do like a MTM design. As such, plan to order at least a set of the new A2.4's once they are available. If I really like them and decide to keep them, then I will order another for my center. May just order a set of the A1.4's for rears....LOL!!! Not really a HT guy anymore as my music is much more important to me. However, do like to watch a movie every now and then. Have dual PSA S1500's so I am fine on the bass side of things. Like YOU, I am too looking forward to seeing what Jon has done but with the A2.4's. There are significant changes to the crossover from what he has explained to me. My excitement is building!

Cheers,

Phil
