Studio Electric's Vintage Type One and Electrodyne

by Josh Ray, Jan 24 '06

 Maybe

Yes, that's a loudspeaker. The new Type One from Studio Electric, to be precise. If you're confused, you'll looking at the side of the speaker with the tweeter is in the Roman crest part up top and the 6.5" woofer is in the diving bell dome. Pretty wild and pretty expensive - $7950. Total range is 80-18k Hz but a bass module with room correction can be added if you so desire. The guys at Stereophile seemed to like the sound but, come on people, you buy this to impress chicks at house parties.

Studio Electric also debuted their Electrodyne hybrid tube amp to go with their new ornaments. $6950 gets you 275 watts per channel, funky retro fab design and vintage NOS or Telefunken tubes for, you know, impressing geeks at house parties.
