As we all know, Chane's A5rx towers were met with high praise back in the

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:

The thing I heard so far is that the model will be a sealed design. Which I think is great since I'm a Music only guy.

My biggest question is about the tweeter on the L7. What will it be? The ARX line tweeter is fine for a lower price range speaker but I do hear over and over again that they are not as good as ribbon or RAAL tweeters. So if the price is were I think it is the competition is going to be high. I have nothing but good things to say about the split-gap woofer.
