Ingenium Silver, Teresonic’s new range of loudspeakers, with pure sound of pure silver that can evoke the warmth and emotion of a live musical performance.
“The Silver edition provides all of the traditional Ingenium advantages - sonic clarity, coherence, and dynamics - while pushing the sonic qualities even further with pure silver coil drivers,” says Mike Zivkovic, president of Teresonic. “This combination of lifelike sound quality, extreme efficiency, and on-site tuning ability makes Ingenium Silver a truly unique offering for high-end audio systems.”
Ingenium Silver (available online at http://www.teresonic.com) also includes an adjustable driver system to accommodate a wide choice of famous Lowther 8-inch drivers for a variety of tuning possibilities. On-site driver replacement makes it possible for users to easily fine-tune their system to match different electronic components and room acoustics.
“Most speakers are designed for a specific driver, forcing audiophiles to swap the entire speaker in order to match their systems and sound preferences,” says Zivkovic. “The Ingenium Silver changes that, allowing users to swap drivers that will match their system, room acoustics, and their hearing.”
Unique architecture and geometry enables Ingenium to produce the most natural sound possible. Every sound source radiates sound waves from a single “point” – whether it’s a violin, a trumpet, or a human voice. Teresonic speakers follow this design rule with one-way design, using full-range, high-efficiency Lowther drivers – translating the model of a theoretically perfect singular acoustic source to create a startling sonic performance. Avoiding use of crossovers in Teresonic speakers results in natural sound, with a wealth of detail, exceptional dynamic range and a sense of musical “aliveness” not found elsewhere.
Sculpted like the finest musical instruments and individually handcrafted, Ingenium Silver speakers retail for $11,980 per pair with a DX3 driver, and $14,480 with DX4. Customers get a 30-day Total Satisfaction Guarantee and a full three-year warranty. Specifications include 101.5dB (1W/1kHz/1m) for DX3 and 103dB for DX4 driver, bandwidth of 30Hz-22kHz ± 3dB, and power handling of 2 - 100 Watts into 8 Ohms nominal impedance.
“With the Ingenium Silver, you experience all the textures and harmonics of live music. They let you hear how the decay of instruments and acoustical environments sound,” says Jack Roberts of Dagogo.com. “The music blooms and feels much more like real music. The whole listening experience becomes about the sounds and feelings of the music in a way that transcends an electronic listening experience.”
