ANNOUNCING THE SPEAKER NO ONE WAS WAITING FOR.
When people think of us, they think of receivers, tuners, amps, cassette decks and turntables. No one thinks of us for speakers.
--APPLAUSE?
But with the major advancements we've made in our compo rents, we wanted to make sure they would sound the way they were supposed to sound.
We tested and listened to the best three way speaker systems and found that almost all of them had remarkably inefficient mid-range speakers. And because 90% of the sound that you hear is in the mid-range, those inefficient speakers were making singers sound slightly nasal applause sound like rainfall.
--RAINFALL
So we developed our new LS-408A. Our goal was to eliminate the nasal sound, and make sure an ovation sounded like applause instead of rain on the deck of Noah's Ark, you, of course, had no idea we were up to this.
With the help of computers, holographic analysis, and the sensitive ears of our engineers we built an efficient mid-range speaker-hat could do those things. Then we put that technology to work building a woofer whose cone eliminates mumbling, along with a tweeter whose higher cutout would repro duce the sound of the singers lips and breath.
It's everything a $325 speaker should be, except it costs less than $250.
And, as crazy as this may sound, it was worth the wait.
